And if you really are seeking personal self-justification then it is as simple as this: Do you like them? Do you want them? Of so, then buy then and enjoy them, assuming you can afford them. That is all the justification needed.
You don't need faux financial justification. It does not matter if the item in question is appreciating or depreciating (although of course an appreciating trinket is probably nicer overall). Just enjoy what you want to enjoy (and can afford) and justify it to no one, other than to your own sense of desire and preference.
If someone incredulously asks you why you bought an expensive (to them) watch, just answer with the truth: That you wanted it. Who knows, maybe you were influenced by the hype, or maybe not. If you were, then so what? That is still no one's business but your own.
Own and enjoy what you want within what you can afford. Justify yourself and your decisions to no one.
