"So, you're both rich and stupid"
Has this one done it? or how many such watches in do you get to be happy?
Sorry I'm not into bracelets
The statement is to set them apart from from you and to display power. So you could go with something like,
"Shit, they still make you buy your uniform when you rich eh. Some things never change."
But more elegantly. Reassert that they are subject to others' power/approval and relate to them to assert that they're no different from you.
"Was it meant to make you happier? I'm not sure it worked."
"I don't have the habit of looking at other people's watches. Thanks for pointing it out, I guess, I might have otherwise missed that detail entirely."
(Biz-bro mind cannot comprehend this)
I have friends.
And I have the same watch, but paid $25 for it on a market in Cambodia.
"Nice, but I kinda prefer the newer model from the spring catalogue. The subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
“Common sense is a flower that does not grow in everyone’s garden”
And it tells the same time as a $5 Casio, but it's heavy and gaudy. I guess money can't buy taste.
And it tells the same time as a $5 Casio
Assuming the fancy watch is mechanical, your $5 Casio keeps better time with a quartz chip.
If it's not mechanical then it's basically the same device with an expensive shell.

Yeah, but can your watch drive you to the store ?
"Wow, you're really shit at bargaining. They really took you for a ride!"
"What's your point?"
"I wouldn't want to paint a target on my back like that. Did you hear about Chesterwick's son getting kidnapped while backpacking in Burma?"
You paid that much for a watch that looks like you steal from your grandad?
neat
Jokes on you, with the deferred maintenance, my car has negative worth.
"It's not my fault you're stupid"
laughs gently and sighs
"This is a six ounce cup of bath water from a YouTube influencer..."
"and yet your dad still don't love you."
get really really enthusiastically interested in the watch. ask for details seem super impressed. massage that wealthy ego to the point of basically a blow job. but then just like keep going. see how long you can keep the topic on that one specific watch. don't ever let him talk about anything that the watch means or about the dynamic he tried to establish.
optionally, loose interest and leave without ever having let anything be said that wasn't about the watch. this is how you weaponize autism against egotists.
And keep it going whenever you see that person again. "Hey, aren't you that watch guy? Are you wearing the watch today? Where's the watch? Show us your watch!"
perfect, yes 😆
