Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?

“Oh, you could only afford one watch?”

“Does is keep better time than my 15 dollar digital Casio? Is it sturdier? Will it last longer? Is it more comfortable? No? So you spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy a less functional watch made out of precious essential materials just to try to impress people like me?”

Honestly though, if you want to piss watch people off, just say “Oh, it looks just like a regular watch, thanks for pointing it out”.

“Hey what time is it? Im suppose to meat up with some friends later.”

“Good for you. Have a cookie. My $20 Casio tells the time just as well.”

You gotta understand this proving your worth by buying ridiculously expensive shit and then bringing attention to it is an attitude of “new money”

Rich people who have been rich for generations will have the same time piece but they will not even think about it. It’s granted to them, part of their life that they would never question. Like you putting on socks.

And that is the attitude that new money cannot understand. Hell that’s kind of what the great gatsby is about, new money just not getting that the expensive shit is just more furniture.

So the most frustrating thing to this mindset is to treat it as no big deal, or even weird that they would bring it up which really it is

“Okay?”

I am not a friend of clever comebacks. People who point these things out are pathetic and people who get triggered by that only slightly less so.

Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?

What’s my motivation? Is there a reason why I’m listening to Alec Baldwin brag about his watch? What’s stopping me from simply walking away?

Can your watch play Bad Apple?

Can your watch run Doom?

Can you install Arch on that watch?

…

… didn’t think so 😛

You paid all that money for a watch that can’t do ANY cool stuff? You utter loser 🤣 🤣 🤣

I guess it’s true, money can’t buy taste.

Fun fact: Alec Baldwin’s character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn’t trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.

“You should have saved up a bit more and bought something less gaudy”

Why the fuck would I drive a watch ?

A shame, such a tasteless choice. If you had as much class as money, you’d have chosen something like a vintage 1960s submariner rather than a frivolous toy available on every high street in the world.

All these comments are trying too hard. The only two options are “OK?” and “that watch?”
