    Anyone who spends more on a watch than a car has poor money management. Fuck, what a waste. There’s no way any watch is worth more than $1000 other than for clout which is stupid.

    A new London bus costs around £300k, so whilst is plausible that the watch cost more than my ‘car’, it’s a pretty stupid way of spending that amount of money…

    So being rich is a fairly new thing to you? What are you gonna do when you get used to it?

    “Does it 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”.

    “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.

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

      Alternatively, “And it’s a very nice watch.” Bonus points for riding the line between nonchalance and condescension while still being a compliment.
