Looking for a good quality wrist watch
This looks like the bezel is interchangeable and I am not sure what is the quality of those bezels, atleast does'nt look great and this watch certainly does not look BIFL. Good rule of thumb while buying BIFL watches is stick to the legacy brands like Roles, Omega, Breitling, Mido, Seiko depending upon your budget and to name a few. Usually DW, Gucci, Hugo Boss watches offer only looks and a short time lifetime as their build quality is not great and they are quartz watches. SO they are definitely not value for money you pay for their brand names. Maybe if you want some bright coloured dials in you watches maybe the new line of Oris big crown is worth giving a look.

Does This Qualify as BuyItForLife? 1970's And Still Ticking
Most quality watches are BIFL, honestly. Tudors, Omegas, GSs, Breitling, APs, Pateks, Tags, VCs, Doxas, CWs, Farers, Glashutte, AL&Ss, and so on and so forth all easily qualify as BIFL

How are the mighty fallen
I would have agreed with this 7 years ago or so but not anymore. Their CEO has them on a great path, they’re releasing fantastic watches with rock solid movements. I am a watch geek and have been throughly impressed by Breitling the past few years. Add in their purchase of Universal Geneve and I must disagree. However, all the Breitling for Bentley esque trash and you’ll are spot on lol.
