I don't think one is "cheating oneself" if one buys a fake (or cheap) watch so long as one is clear that that's what one is doing

What one is doing at that point is "Fronting"
I recently saw a 428 rebadged as M4. I guess that was as good of a replica as could be found ? |
Red:
In what world do you live whereupon comes an inappropriate time to wear a Datejust? I'm going out on a limb here...I don't think most folks who plunk down ~$8K on a watch live in a world where such a time comes about.
Blue:
Wouldn't "frontin' " require that one tell other people (directly or by omission) that one's fake [whatever] is authentic? I can't speak to who might be "fronin' ' and who might not. My comment referred to the fact that of all the people one might attempt to fool, fooling oneself -- in part by holding unrealistic expectations -- is the most foolish act of all.
All the best.
