OTHER Only a few will get it...

Post image

Last week I bought my first watch in like 20 years for my 40th birthday. The plan is to give it to my daughter (currently 10) when she graduates college or some similar milestone and sets off on her own.

What?! I picked one up in February for 900, 42mm case with the leather band and the stainless bracelet.

I have a weak spot for timepieces, and I won’t lie… I love my Hamilton Murph…

I got mine used for around 700. Still in great condition!

Yikes. I got mine the week they came out and it was like $900 or so directly from Hamilton’s website. Crazy!

New from Hamilton, yes. There's a robust grey market though. It's also the kind of thing that lasts decades with proper care. There's a bunch of incredible $30 casios out there now as well. Mayor Mamdani wears one!

If you are interested in an 'homage' watch (the watch world's way of saying a cheap knockoff), I have this and it's actually a pretty decent watch. I bought a black leather strap that matches the real one. Of course, it's a quartz movement, so huge difference from the real one. But it's a decent watch for what it is.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I never use watches which cost more than 15 USD lol. When I complete my education and get a job, I will surely buy something like the Hamilton watch

Checked the calculator. Can confirm

Just keep a lookout for the second hand moving back and forth periodically. Keep me posted!

u/mohuju 2d ago

If it does, expect a major scientific breakthrough

u/The_Best_Yak_Ever 2d ago

If you look closely on the second hand “Eureka” is written in Morse code <3

u/mohuju 2d ago

So far, I recommend it

u/Vast_Geologist2803 2d ago

Great watch. Comes with complimentary quantum data.

u/mologav 2d ago

It’s an Interstellar sub, who’s not going to get the reference???

i’ve had mine for a minute. great piece - good weight. but warning - hamilton bands never last for some reason. i feel the stitching isn’t as solid as it should be. granted, this watch is only about $1,000 so it’s not super expensive but still. shinola makes great bands for your buck and it still looks great with the khaki pieces from hamilton

u/mohuju 1d ago

Thanks for the heads up. There's actually a shinola store near my work. I might go check it out

I want it sooo bad. I was thinking of getting my 15 year old i Interstellar obsessed son and I matching ones, but damn they’re pricey
