I don't own art that wasn't created by the artist who's name appears on the piece. That's true regardless of how much I paid for the piece. Is that what you were wondering?
The art issue is certainly similar to that of fake watches, but there is sometimes one key difference: the owners of some works of art authorize and profit from the creation of the replicas. So it's important to keep that distinction in mind for that is the legal difference between the two. Nonetheless, the legality of the matter doesn't alter whether one has a fake or not. Authorized fakes are still fakes and it's that aspect I sought to deal with because as I've said, the legal aspect isn't in question.
All the best.
