First mechanical watch!
Recently got into watches in a big way and just bought my first mechanical watch a few days ago! Absolutely love it and very excited to find this community. What should be next?

Definitely a classic.Personally Hamilton never really did it for me to pay the more premium price.Their watches do look good but never felt like "yes the watch that i want to buy" however my favorite is the far cry 6 one.

Very cool!! I'm happy to start off my collection with a solid everyday'er. I'm thinking of putting a NATO or Perlon strap on it. I think a dive watch is what I'll have my eye on next.

My suggestions would be:
army olive green nato
Black nato
Black nato with grey stripes
Ferrari red nato
White nato
Black and red nato
In that order.
Congratulations on the new watch! Enjoy, and wear the crap out of it.

I absolutely will. Thank you!!
I have for some time tried to find a couple of alternatives to get from Hamilton and this one is for sure one I could consider. What model/ref is this?

It’s commonly called the “Hamilton Khaki Field Auto”… this one is 38mm.
Ref #H704551
Excellent choice for a first mechanical. Can't go wrong with a Hamilton. My first was a Seiko SKX009.

Thank you! I love the SKX, it looks great on that band! Disappointing they've been discontinued, I'm thinking of getting an Orient Kamasu instead?

Nice! I haven't experienced an Orient yet but I hear only good things. It seems like the Orient divers have alot of features that are lacking in the SKX line.
38mm perfection
