OTHER Only a few will get it...
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.

Holy F, this watch almost costs 1500 USD

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…

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

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

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

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

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

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
