[Question] Are there any lifetime watches in the 800 - 1500$ range? (alien.top)

Looking to buy my first nicer watch in january to celebrate surviving my rather intense work schedule in december. Having fallen into the watch-youtube rabbit hole I'm not even sure I can call these pieces "nicer" but the ones I am liking at the moment are the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42mm, 42mm Murph and the Longines Conquest black dial. Looking for a daily driver that I can use for the next 10+ years. Is that even realistic in this price point?

Would also love recommendations in this price point for a big wristed feller.

From a practical perspective youll also want a watch that is easy and relatively inexpensive to service. For that youll want to stay away from any movements that are heavily modified or 'in house'. Seikos and most swatch watches that use the eta 2824 base work for that.

Overall if you want to get a lifetime watch I would also say seiko is the best bet.
