One of the most bombproof, apocalypse ready watches you can buy.
Would an EMP take it out? If so, then not bombproof. I think that award would go to an Omega 300m diver or planet ocean with a titanium case. Completely amagnetic, requires no battery only wrist movement.

Looking for a good quality wrist watch
The watch subs, the main one and the brand related ones can be super helpful. Quartz, analog with a battery, are very accurate for the price. Digital are obviously battery. Mechanical have to be wound, usually every day or two. Automatic are self winding mechanical watches that wind while walking/moving. Mechanical and automatic aren’t as accurate as quartz, unless you pay for a high end one. There’s also solar and other funky battery options. Quartz have the classic ticking sound while mechanical are quiet. Quartz are also more robust, but they require batteries. In theory a mechanical watch can run indefinitely if it’s always wound/worn. If you want digital and cheap, then Gshock Decent quality and price, then seiko, citizen for both mechanical and quartz. There’s also all different tiers of luxury brands. From a few $100 to $100k. There’s also styles, I prefer divers as they’re more water resistant than most other styles. Personally I wear an Omega Seamaster Pro, and I have a Gshock for work as I am a mechanic, but I may change that to a mechanical diver soon.

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.

Why is it so hard to find well-made clothes that aren't insanely priced?
As I write this, I'm wearing my Wolverine boots (12 years old), Kuhl pants (11 years), Irish wool sweater (21 years), and Barbour jacket (41 years), and Omega watch (21 years). BIFL is real. It does come at the cost of choosing a style and sticking with it. Easier for a man, but doable regardless.

Does anyone know best juicer machine under 200$?
Yep, the Omega is one hell of an awesome juicer. It's only downfall is extremely water heavy items like watermelon and oranges. Apples, carrots, greens and other harder stuuf it plows through.

The omega is really worth it. Cold juice due to its auger and no blade. I often see these used for 100-200.

I’m a firm believer in the tool watch… just what you are looking for. I have three in this realm. Seiko SKX007 classic dive watch in the $300 range. Lots of band options out there. Marathon GSAR. Rock solid automatic dive watch with tritum hands in the $900 range. Omega Seamaster 300 Peter Blake 2254.50. Out of production but a beautiful dive watch in the $2k-3k range. I have worn all three in my 23 years in the Army, both state side and in combat. They are solid tool watches checking all your boxes. Luck.

I've been using an Omega Constellation pie pan daily, doing sports, for decades. Prices have gone up from the last time I looked, but I think it's solid value. You probably want a new one, so, sorry about that but this is something where I feel confident they were well-made.

BIFLers, what things do you not understand why people spend their money on?
You guys are downvoting him, but he makes a valid point. An Omega or Rolex is going to last generations, and in business, it definitely opens doors. They are definitely BIFL. It's also part of the expected costume. I finally broke down and bought an Omega when I realized every person I work with wears a $10k+ watch and didn't want to embarrass my boss when I'm meeting with the board. I bought it used for half price because it didn't have the original box. The very next month I got asked to speak at a conference for a major company you'd recognize the name of. Not saying it was all the watch, but again, it's part of the expected costume. You need to look the part to reach a certain level. By itself, it's just a watch though, you can't wear cargo shorts to a business golf outing and think the watch will save you. The guy I know who did, didn't get invited back.

Purchased this refurbished omega juicer about 8 years ago. Hundreds of pounds of of produce juiced without any issues.
Omega cold presses the juice at slow speed. This keeps the enzymes within the juice still active increasing nutrient value. High speed juicers create heat with the speed/friction. I have the same model. Great machine. Ranks up there with a Vitamix blender or Kitchen Aid mixer.

If you’re looking into getting a juicer, I would look no further. Years ago, I did a deep dive into different juicers and decided to choose a masticating juicer over a centrifugal juicer. Omega kept popping up time and time again as the absolute best value and I could not agree more. This thing is a workhorse and chew up anything you throw at it. I’ve done 20 pounds of hard carrots at one time with zero issues. parts are easily serviceable and available as well.

Any recommendations for wind up or self winding wrist watches?
Really enjoying my Omega Seamaster with the 8800 movement. It's fairly robust, accurate as F (+1.2 sec per day for the past 3 years), and completely magnetic resistant, since I work around magnets and such.

Any recommendations for wind up or self winding wrist watches?
Definitely going to need a budget, because I doubt you really mean “any” If it is any, go Rolex, if you want new and now go Tudor/Omega. If it is limited, for 300 usd you can get great seiko automatics which will be serviceable their whole life. If you want more accuracy, get something Swiss with an eta 2824 (around 1000usd)

What is your favorite category of BIFL products?
Going to be highly subjective as everyone has their own preferences in what they want out of a watch, so do your own research, but out of my collection Under $100 - BIFL choices would be Casio, G-Shock, Timex. You aren't going to find a good repairable automatic movement for this price new, maybe used. I love my swatches, really cute designs, but not built to be repairable. Under $1k - Pretty wide price range, at the low end you can get a good g-shock, citizen eco-drive, for automatics look at hamilton, tissot, seiko. A seiko 5 is the gold standard for inexpensive, durable, entry level, automatic watch. if you had to buy one watch today to start your watch journey, that and a 20$ casio would be my recommendation. Under $10k its almost entirely preference. You can get a good Rolex Submariner or Datejust for around that price, I'm personally partial to grand seiko, you can find a SBGW231 for 3-4k. Lots of options from pretty much everyone there, omega has the 57 chromosomes, brietling/iwc both make great stuff, cartier santos, glashütte but if you're looking for a one-and-done purchase as a somewhat non-enthusiast, just find a rolex you really like, make sure the movement is in good maintenance, and enjoy. There is a reason they are as esteemed as they are.
