Does your watch get good milage?

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…

-“What time is 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”.

“Oh, you could only afford one watch?”

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

Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?

Why the fuck would I drive a watch ?

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

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.

If only you had learned to tell time.

• Your clock stopped. (Looks at the clock)
• No it’s still working.
• You are bald on tip of your head I saw it when you were looking at the clock.

‘nice watch!’ then move in and quietly say “oh, hey, it looks like your barber missed a spot back there”

You still use a watch?

I feel like owning expensive stuff like that is non optional for the very rich. Those who answer things like “my phone already does that” do sound poor. They don’t buy it because they need the time. They buy it because it looks nice and is expensive.

I think I would make a disgusted face and say something like “really? It doesn’t look like it. What brand is it?”
