"Didn't ask"

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.

When I was at school, the kids would say, "my dad's shed is bigger than your dad's shed". But that was a long time ago, and we each had a child's view of the world. Most of us grew up.

"Cool story bro. Needs more dragons."

You still use a watch?

I have friends.

And I have the same watch, but paid $25 for it on a market in Cambodia.

My car has an analog clock face too.

That's cool, but MY watch has a Tomagachi living in it.

Man, it is a shame you can't buy class because you could use some.

Does your watch get good milage?

"and yet your dad still don't love you."

Great! Does it help you with not shooting people as well?

-"What time is it?"

"mine was 5 bucks at goodwill, sounds like you got scammed, sorry"

That's quiet an expensive way to look cheap

I have people who love me.

I'd just start laughing and point at them.

good, maybe you can sell it to buy some human decency then

'nice watch!' then move in and quietly say "oh, hey, it looks like your barber missed a spot back there"

"What's your point?"

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?"

"good for you, little guy"

"Was it meant to make you happier? I'm not sure it worked."

Just smile non-genuinely and say "Sure."

"You got it wrong, expensive watches dont go faster"

Either dishonest affirmation or "That's nice, buddy" and touch his shoulder.

With people you might need later it's the first option, the second if you want to piss off narcissists.

Good for you, why should I care?

“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.

I mean it's one car, Alec. What could it cost? Ten dollars?

So you are fiscally irresponsible and you are proud of it? Good to know…
