What's my motivation? Is there a reason why I'm listening to Alec Baldwin brag about his watch? What's stopping me from simply walking away?
You need to listen to him because it's a meeting at work, he's higher up than you are, and your job is at risk.

The link skips half of the speech, if you have 8 minutes, watch the whole thing.
Damn thats a cheap watch, is it Chinese too?
Can your watch play Bad Apple?
Can your watch run Doom?
Can you install Arch on that watch?
...
... didn't think so 😛
You paid all that money for a watch that can't do ANY cool stuff? You utter loser 🤣 🤣 🤣
"You should have saved up a bit more and bought something less gaudy"
I guess it's true, money can't buy taste.
Fun fact: Alec Baldwin's character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn't trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.
I don't have a car
I don't care to respond
I don't mind sounding poor.
Wealth beyond what is good for you is no better than theft I'd say. Buying expensive watches while little children grow up in poverty is nothing to be proud of. If anyone should feel shame it should be that guy. Don't be humiliated by such shameless assholes. And don't try to counter attack, It won't work, they don't share your values, they feel no shame for the things that they do. Instead let's organize and fight them where it hurts. Taxes, taxes, taxes.
Why the fuck would I drive a watch ?
A shame, such a tasteless choice. If you had as much class as money, you'd have chosen something like a vintage 1960s submariner rather than a frivolous toy available on every high street in the world.
If only you had learned to tell time.
"that's cute!"
All these comments are trying too hard. The only two options are "OK?" and "that watch?"
Verbose disses only work in rap
Aahhhh winner:
"that watch?"
You are awesome. Now the ball is on their side and covered in two layers of diarrhea
Or a Guy Richie film.
"Bleedin 'ell. You've bin 'ad mate. Blonde Tony was selling those daan the Nags 'ed last week for a pony. 5 for a ton."
*scratches head with gun*
Alternatively, "And it's a very nice watch." Bonus points for riding the line between nonchalance and condescension while still being a compliment.
Barf in his face.
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?
"You got ripped off"
Woow, what does it do?
Nothing else? So does my car.
"Timex?"
'nice watch!' then move in and quietly say "oh, hey, it looks like your barber missed a spot back there"
"and i have a piece of cardboard thats worth more than your watch" whips out a charizard
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.
"good for you, little guy"
I have people who love me.
You still use a watch?
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?"
K
Just smile non-genuinely and say "Sure."
“Your watch cost more than £100?”
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?
I can read digital clocks faster.
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.
That's why you have a personal assistant follow you around!
Good for you, why should I care?
