Poor Versus Rich Watch Taste

Oh this? It’s my newest time-piece™. It’s the new Tudor™ Pelagos™ 39 mm is a great size. Honestly, I wish it was 36 mm really. Small watches are coming back in style, you know? Watches actually started as jewelry for women and men had pocket watches. That changed in World War 1. Anyway, I love the refined look of this watch. I love the Snowflake™ hands. No date. No complications, just a solid tool-watch™. I’m so glad this has much less text on it now. Have you seen they finally changed the logo on Christopher Ward™ watches? Good for them. Great value for money, almost as good as this watch. This watch is definitely a really good investment. Not like those disgusting Hublot’s. Oversized, overcomplicated, and overpriced. Watches should be clean and simple. I might finally get a Grand Seiko™ now that they got rid of the power-reserve on the front. The Spring Drive™ is an electromechanical marvel. Anyway, I was saving for a Submariner™, which I think is even more elegant, but this really ticks all the boxes. You know Rolex™ actually owns Tudor™. My perfect watch collection would be a Submariner™, a Daytona™, and a Speedmaster™. You see those have history. James Bond, Paul Newman, Neil Armstrong, all guys I relate to. But I’m good with this Tudor™ for now. I have how people buy flashy watches to show off their wealth. I try to keep things classy and under the radar. Plus I wouldn’t want to make my boss look bad, he just wears an Apple watch. Ugh smart watches. Those watches don’t have the soul mechanical watches have. This is like the quartz crisis all over again. Oh you don’t know about that? Let me tell you. In the 1970s... “Wow! Look at all the cool stuff in there!” “Wow! Look at all the cool stuff in there!” Poor Rich

A long-winded watch enthusiast lectures about Tudor, Rolex, Grand Seiko, and other luxury watches while two Wojak figures admire watches along a Poor-to-Rich spectrum. The joke contrasts obsessive horological knowledge and understated luxury-watch snobbery with the simple reaction of someone impressed by flashy, expensive-looking watches. It is used when someone overexplains niche expertise, flexes expensive taste, or pretends their status symbols are tasteful and practical.
