Rude 'how much is it' contribution

[Rolextix]

At work yesterday, I was dealing with a regular client of ours. A little backstory, he is known as a bullshi**er amongst all of my coworkers. He walks in with a new Movado that I've never seen him wear before. My dad loves Movado and he's had his for over 20 years and the thing still ticks. So I proceeded to compliment his watch with what he responded "2000 dollar watch, no big deal." I chuckled and moved on. I step outside and walk back in to a buddy of mine who is recently starting to get into watch culture talking to him about his watch, 'oh dear' I say to myself. He's going on about how Movado uses Rolex metals and how Movado uses stronger steel than Rolex. I don't say anything, because I'm diplomatic and don't want to offend this arrogant imbecile, after all he is a repeat client and he sends people to us as well. My other coworker gestures to me and says "have you seen his Rolex" and I quickly become uncomfortable. He says "yeah I've seen it" and continues by saying "where'd you get that, at an alley?" At this point I'm still diplomatic and I try to diffuse the situation quickly. Then he goes on and says "how much are your payments on that thing?" And follows by "no really, how much is it" I told him the MSRP and left the room. It was a quite uncomfortable and rude experience.
