That’s a tough one, I don’t own a watch from any of these brands but personally I like the look Tudor the best
I own a Tudor so that was my choice but I’m eyeing a Longines next. Don’t care much for Breitling.
None
Each of these brands offer watches that can last a lifetime so long as you take care of it. Of the three, I think Tudor’s design language is more timeless but that is just my opinion. Good luck 💪 on the decision ahead
You shouldn't be buying based on brand, but based on watch itself.

You can't go wrong with Tudor or Longines. I think if you're buying only 1 watch, you should focus on versatility and durability. I think Longines Spirit line is perfect. Tudor's Black Bay and Pelagos lines are also incredible, although i personally think the Spirit is even more versatile than those.
That was tough one I picked Tudor because my Pelagos 42 is extremely well made but longines is great as well I’m lucky to have both
Where's Seiko 🤣
D. All the above
They should all last a life time with regular servicing.
Given the answers above, perhaps the most pertinent question you should be asking yourself is: which watch can I see myself wearing for a lifetime?
Breitling
With proper service, all 3 can last a lifetime.
I think overall, Tudor would be your best option in terms of price, quality and ease of service. Personally, for ONE watch only, I’d look at a diver. While my personal favourite models are the BB Pro or the Pelagos 39, I think the BB 54 would be a good contender for a 1-watch collection given its size and features. Buy a leather strap for dress functions and a NATO for fun and you should be set for most events.
Sorry I can't help you here. I am closing in on 90 watches.

Exactly right 👍
The Tudor/Breitling tough choice because they're using each other's movements.
