Holds up wrist sporting a Casio F-91W “Al-Qaida”
Big deal… This watch also costs more than my car.
Do have some other investmentadvice I shouldn’t heed?
Great! Does it help you with not shooting people as well?
hes just have a itchy trigger finger.
-“What time is it?”
Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?
“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”.
“Oh, you could only afford one watch?”
“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.”
Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.
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?
You need to listen to him because it’s a meeting at work, he’s higher up than you are, and your job is at risk.

The link skips half of the speech, if you have 8 minutes, watch the whole thing.
If he’s higher up than me and my job is at risk and I need the job, wouldn’t mouthing off be a bad idea?
That’s what makes OP’s question interesting.
True, could get shot in the face
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.
