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.
Just smile non-genuinely and say "Sure."
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?"
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.
You gotta understand this proving your worth by buying ridiculously expensive shit and then bringing attention to it is an attitude of "new money"
Rich people who have been rich for generations will have the same time piece but they will not even think about it. It's granted to them, part of their life that they would never question. Like you putting on socks.
And that is the attitude that new money cannot understand. Hell that's kind of what the great gatsby is about, new money just not getting that the expensive shit is just more furniture.
So the most frustrating thing to this mindset is to treat it as no big deal, or even weird that they would bring it up which really it is
neet
Cool. Anyway...
"Big deal- I also have a small cock."
No wait I wanna change it to "I have a small cock too, but nobody can tell just by looking at me"
"Wow, I guess you really CAN'T buy taste then"
Good for you man, that's a really great watch 😊
Sad little men like that are most hurt by you not being offended by them. It's like with internet trolls; non-engagement is the best weapon. It also happens to require the least amount of energy or time. So easy, but so devastating to their ego.
I eat them.
Realize you mistakenly spoke to a Baldwin and walk away
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.
Cool story bro
That's how they'll know whose assets to liquidate when the world wakes up.
Barf in his face.
I think I made the better choice.
Nice.
I don't have a car
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.
Yes, but do you have brass balls?
"Oh, am I supposed to kiss it?"

interesting, i also used to enjoy making poor people feel 'less than,' but then i graduated high school
"Oh, you could only afford one watch?"
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?
