Hi all!

Being a big movie fan I´ve been looking at the Murph on metal strap. Although I know the 38mm is not the correct version, it´s the one best suited for my wrist..
It´s a very big investment for me , so what to the all the owners, what's your opinion on it? Worth the price tag?
Cheers!

Had the larger version until my son (the crow) spotted it. the 38mm does not have Eureka spelled out in morse on the seconds hand. As an Interstellar purist, that reduces the "Murph" aspect (at least to me).

Also, and this is true of the Hamiltons I like the appearance of. Lacking a screw down crown is just off putting. I know water resistance is fine, but in today's world when $100 knock offs can install a screw down crown, I just don't understand why Hamilton keeps coming down on the other side of that argument. Just my opinion of course.

As sizes go, I like it a lot better than the traditional 36mm size most field watches shoot for. The metal bracelet is a big plus 😀

Cheers for that!
Yeah the screw down would be a great addition....
What do you think of the movement? Decent?

As far as I can remember, it was fine. My son has never complained about it, but then again, like me, he rotates through watches routinely.
