Ronda 515.24 is a pretty solid Quartz GMT that you can totally do for sub $500. That said, mine sometimes loses time. I may need to have it serviced.
It really is a great timepiece. I have been considering a Murph for the same reason. Lately my favorite daily wear has been a SMP 300 on the bracelet, comfortable and durable. I also, as you note, love the mechanical aspect of it. I don't check a lot of pulses (other than looking up at a screen) but there is something classic about it. But I do worry about messing up the Seamaster or losing it, but heck I bought it to wear it, didn't I?
IR, you?
I can see that, I have been wearing a Seiko 5 on a canvas on occasion as well, with 22mm lugs it is a strap monster.
How does the leather strap stand up to frequent hand washing? I always wear a bracelet at work and obviously no watch when scrubbed in. Leather just falls apart on me after a year or so.
