[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.

People have this stupid notion that watches in the 500-1000 will not be lifetime.

Guess what? That Rolex GMt 1655 from 40 years ago that cost 35k now? It used to cost 200 usd.

Adjusting for inflation it costed around 800$

And guess what? It had way worse manufacturing quality than any modern watch, and it still works.
