For that amount of $ to build a fake 'relationship' would be the worst advice anyone can give in the watch community if you're just starting out to collect as recent as 2018.

YMMV of course, if you're situated in a much smaller, urbanized town with a lot less enthusiasts
I probably spent $2K on jewelry and it wasn’t for purchases just to build a “fake relationship,” I was buying them for gifts anyways. If an AD is holding you to a “dollar amount” to get a SS model then yes that is a fake relationship and the best advice I could give to anyone in the watch community would be to move on to a new AD
