Funny story if it's someone else's watch.

A) A fool and their "money" is soon parted.

I've never bought a watch that isn't now worth more than I paid for it.

BTW could you at least try to offer your generic sneers in decent grammar, "news18": "A fool and his money", not "a fool and their money", eh? See, "a" and "his" are both singular, whereas "a" and "their" fight each other, so that people reading your sneer are counterproductively distracted by your illiteracy and pay less attention than you wish to your spite.

B) I hope he has the purchase receipt when he makes the insurance claim.

I lost a watch once. The insurance company already had the details of the receipt, noted when it agreed the insured value. They paid in full without a murmur. I bought exactly the same watch again, and still wear it on the very rare occasions I wear a watch.
