hey guys, first time buyer here and i want to get a watch in the 500-600$ price range that i can wear on multiple occasions. i am thinking something 42mm because i have big hands and then maybe getting a a few straps that would go well with color matching on different occasions.

thank you for all the advice!

You might be able to get a pre-owned Hamilton Murph. It's a little easier to dress up, versus the other khaki field models.

Throw on a canvas strap, NATO, even a rubber strap for sports use.

Get a vintage-style leather strap, sailcloth or perlon for casual wear.

To dress it up, there's all manner of leather straps, but you could give mesh a try too.

I thought Hamilton fields have zero water resistance? Pretty fragile for a field watch.

Huh? No. The Auto is 100m which is perfectly good for a field watch, and the Mechanical models are 50m which is meh but certainly not zero.
