Having a unique and quirky item is worth a brag.

Bragging with an expensive Rolex is very different than bragging with the NFT of a terrible image of the Brooklyn Bridge by John Cleese who sold it as a joke.

Except there is nothing unique about it.

Nor anything unique about a Rolex. Can’t see how a purchased watch qualifies for bragging. It takes no skill, no dedication, no smarts, no gumption to open one’s wallet to purchase a watch.

The person who built the watch might have something to brag about.

A Rolex is an actual thing with a function and an intrinsic value. It can be copied, but only at a significant cost.

John Cleese has done how many pieces of architectural art now?
