·I know guys, on a personal level, who have low, 6-figure pieces that don't set them... I realize it's not really about the love of timepieces for them as it is about status and leveraging it.

·This is my experience with people employing that practice as well. They set the clock fast to not be late but because they’re conscious of it they just convert to the real time in their head anyway. You should go and set everything 20 minutes fast without her knowing. Then maybe it will work.
I can still hear my parents...
Mom: "Jerry, did you set the clocks ahead again?"
Dad: "Yeah, I want to be 5 minutes ahead of everyone else."
Mom: "We're all just 5 minutes dumber, thanks to you."
Dad: "Dammit, Rose."

·I feel redeemed. This is why I focus on chronometers and COSC certified, use winders, and keep my daily wear watches ready to go.
