    The classic “OK boomer” still gets them angry, if that’s what you’re after

    All these comments are trying too hard. The only two options are “OK?” and “that watch?”

    Verbose disses only work in rap

      Alternatively, “And it’s a very nice watch.” Bonus points for riding the line between nonchalance and condescension while still being a compliment.

    “Interesting, may I see?” And when they hold their wrist up to you, inspect it closely, then lick it, make some faces like a wine connoisseur, shake your head and say :“It’s fake” turn around and disengage.

    “So?”

    That’s the response you want. Complete andutter boredom. You don’t care. Their entire personality is built around a weird little status structure and if you don’t buy into their hallucination they lose their everloving minds

    “Okay?”

    I am not a friend of clever comebacks. People who point these things out are pathetic and people who get triggered by that only slightly less so.

    You see this? This is called a “smart phone.” Not only will this tell me the time like your watch, but it can also do a bunch of other things. I can look at pictures of raccoons wearing silly hats or I can use it to insult someone on the other side of the planet. It also cost a fraction of what your watch cost. I’m sorry to tell you this, but I think it should go and get your money back. It sounds like you’ve been scammed. As a matter of fact, let me give you my friend’s phone number. He’s an accountant, and I think he’ll be able to help stop you from making stupid purchases in the future.

      No. A cheap $100 phone is way more reliable than the most expensive Rolex thanks to NTP.

      If you’re an astute collector, fine watches are (like art) a solid form of investment.

        Prove me wrong: Fine art is a money laundering scheme.

        You get some guy who went to art school to slosh some house paint on a sheet. You then hire a white woman who dresses like Malian royalty to come describe it in contradictory adjectives “It’s subtle, yet bold” while her gay sidekick in a turtleneck flamboyantly slaps his face and gasps. Sell $20 worth of cotton and $30 worth of Valspar for $3.247 million, and you’ve just successfully covered up the sale of 94 more brown women.

          Prove me wrong: Fine art is a money laundering scheme.

          Why would I try when it is a fact? I would caveat that fine art “can be” a money laundering scheme (quite easily). It isn’t always a money laundering scheme.
