Casemiro was never overpriced or questionable. He was valued exactly what he was worth and definitely one of the least questionable signings Manchester United has made.

Of course this was at the time of his signing.

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Cervo Volante is the best looking watch ever made. Change my mind.

I have been wearing a Casio Edifice EF 524 costing about 70€-ish and nine years and one battery change later, it still feels like it is going to go on for another nine.

So you can definitely expect a watch in the 800-1500$ range to last you 10 years if not for a lifetime. I’d suggest looking into Longines, Oris and Frederique Constant for that price point. Aesthetically I tend to lean heavily towards Oris but that is a personal preference. I think Longines HydroConquest is very suitable for your context.
