[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.

How often do you service them? I have 1 and I’m wondering is it worth it?

[–] onemany@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It depends on what you do with it. If you need them to be water resistant getting them serviced every few years is not a bad idea.

Most Seiko’s you don’t need to service until you’re having an issue. Then I would just replace the movement and gaskets.

I would say it’s 5-7min slow every morning…

It’s a sarb0035 no emotional attachment

Dang, that’s too bad. I sold a SARB035 that was +/-5 seconds a day. And I have a SARB033 that’s +/-10 seconds a day.

+-5 sec! That’s nothing
