[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.

I'd recommend anything in the Christopher Ward range OP. Real variety of styles, above-the-price-point specs, finishing etc.

Don't know if it's just me but I couldn't bring myself to wear Christopher Ward. I just think Irish Traveller everytime I hear the name!

I’ll never understand the CW love, no original design, can’t even figure out their own branding—unlikely to be making watches in ten years.. similar $$ buys you Longines, Tissot, Seiko, Hamilton etc..

There are truly barely any designs that are actually “original” in a hobby as saturated as watches.

What is a watch with truly original designs? Rolex? Langes? Hublot?
