“I don’t mean to victim blame, but I try not to look like I’m worth mugging.”
I wouldn't even hide that watch up my ass.
So you are fiscally irresponsible and you are proud of it? Good to know…
"Yes, your fancy jewelry is very pretty. Good job."
Edit: after I stopped laughing, of course.
I can afford not to have a watch.
neat
What is it for?
steals his watch
don't. make a "oh poor guy" face and move on. he wants you to engage, to be angry, if you don't he will be mad

A lot of replies here still wander into sounding mad imo Instead, I would fake not getting the insult and just make them uncomfortable by saying something like "Wow that's cool :D" and then just move on. Sort of like when you acknowledge a child doing something dumb but they're so proud of it you don't want to ruin it for them.
'I can think of many better uses for the metals in that watch.'
That's not a very high bar, boomer.
this movie, glengarry glen ross, was so fucking good. definitely worth a watch if you enjoy watching masterpiece acting. kevin spacey is in it though (his acting is great he just sucks as a person)

Has this one done it? or how many such watches in do you get to be happy?
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.
Jokes on you, with the deferred maintenance, my car has negative worth.
Your pathetic status symbols only show how anxious and insecure you are.
Will your regular charge you half price when she doesn't see you wearing it?
Quite a low bar considering that I don't need a car of my own.
"Okay and does it tell the time?"
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?
seems like a giant waste of money when you have phone that has the time on it.
Not gonna argue that it's not a waste of money to get a watch that expensive, but just having a watch is quite nice. Not having to fish my phone out of my pocket and click the power button every time i want to check the time is something i appreciate.
