Feedback from long time Field owners

Hey everyone!
I'm seriously considering a basalt grey Field as my first "serious" watch, as it seems to have pretty much everything I'm looking for (Updated Sellita movement, original but versatile design, great brand reputation etc).

The only thing that makes me hesitate is the titanium case and finish. I've read online from some owners that the finish can feel a bit "toy-ish", even dirty looking? So I'd be interested to hear owners about how they feel regarding that.

The other question mark is about the patina that can appear on the case after a while. Do any long time owners noticed changes in the finish, and if so, how does it look after a few months/years?

I'm a bit nervous to buy something without being able to try it first, so thank you guys in advance for your comments!

Start a discussion: Field Automatic Coho Salmon, 40mm on an 8.75" wrist

Caught the Coho Salmon in direct sun this morning. The dial looks its best in this kind of light: the sunburst center reads a shade deeper than the ring around it, and the blacked-out numerals stay sharp even in full sun.

Size reference for the bigger-wristed crowd: my wrist is 8.75" and 42mm and up is what usually works on me. A 40 has to earn its spot, and this one did. It's 48mm lug to lug, so judge the fit for yourself.

It's on tan leather for now, but I swap straps a lot. What are you all running on your Field?

Phone shot, color-corrected. The camera pushed the salmon toward yellow in direct sun.
