As for the people who would judge him on such a purchase, that's a different story.

I hear of people buying $10k+ watches and ALSO buying a replica version of the same watch to use as a "beater". Does it make them a faker because they don't want/can't afford to risk damaging their genuine version?
If they need to buy a replica version of the same watch to use as a "beater" it seems like they were not able to truly afford the watch in the first place. A 10k watch is not a 100k Patek.
