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.

I think I made the better choice.
So you could have donated that money to a food bank or homeless shelter and gotten a tax break. Or you could have just kept it and invested in dividend paying stock, but instead you spent it on a watch that tells you the same time as my $20 watch?
Yes, but do you have brass balls?
Such frivolous spenditure will rot your money. Decay of your father's fortune and your child's kingdom. Begotten by weak flesh and temptation, coward from strength.
Even the homeless know to not show your power before you speak, or your trades will be levied against you.
I eat them.
Does your watch get good milage?

"Cool; I'll just take it right over to the pawn shop then"
Last time I gave a fuck was when I were with your wife
Can you go careening around twisty mountain roads with the top down with a 6 speed manual stick with that watch? No? I'll take my Miata any day. Good luck with your time keeping.
"Sweet that means someone in need could get a car!"
"Oh that's cute, does it have a Spring Drive tho?"
"Fuck outta here with your garbage little trinket. Rolex as a whole, doesn't come anywhere NEAR the big three in any capacity, so go get yourself a real watch and I might be impressed, because all you've shown me so far is your have more money than taste...*
I mean it's one car, Alec. What could it cost? Ten dollars?
"Timex?"
Sad as fuck that you need expensive set pieces to maintain the facade of your self worth. If I were over here wearing a Timex I'd still be fine with who I was. Would you?
But can it djent?
Oh cool. Mine is made out of wood and leather and cost ten bucks. I've had it for two decades and my dad had it for four. It's really comfortable and loses a second a decade. How's yours do?
Why would I spend money on a depreciating asset? My money works for me.
"Sweet that means someone in need could get a car!"
So you like to waste money?
You spend this much money for a watch that can't even turn a deer into roadkill? Your loss.
I can read digital clocks faster.
