A smart marketing ploy to please 38mm fans and significantly increase the retail price compared to similar Hamilton Fields. Surely it's a 'Murph' lookalike as it's the wrong size and the Morse code is absent on the seconds hand, which misses the point of the movie character's association? Still, it's a nice watch but at a hefty premium IMO.

BUT, I have on several different occasions nearly bought a Hamilton, but for some reason I've never actually 'pulled the trigger' on one! They, Hamilton seem to kind of sit in that middle ground where you spend a bit more and get something noticeably better or spend a bit less and get something very nearly almost as good or even equal, but without 'that' name? I freely admit to having both mechanical and quartz movements and I don't really discriminate between them, if I like it then that's it for me. I hope/think you can probably can get that view point?!

I admit I was one of the folks who "bullied" Hamilton into releasing a 38 mm version. It started out in 2019 when the original 42 mm came out. I continued "harrassing" Hamilton on social media, but not to the point of being totally obnoxious and annoying. I kinda gave up in early 2022 and told myself it wasn't happening, so I ended up buying a 38 mm homage from Alixpress that has a Miyota 8 series movement and a screw down crown! That watch originally came with a multi BOR-type bracelet and I replaced it with a black leather strap similar to what the Murph has, and I loved wearing that thing. Fast forward a few months later and the official Hamilton account responded to me with a #somethingsmalliscoming and I got excited that it was finally happening. I love the movie and the watch so much that I ended up getting 2 copies. I still wear it to this day and it's one of my favorite watches to wear.

The 42 mm case would have been fine with more appropriate lugs. Looking at the lug-to-lug in proportion to the diameter: 44 / 38 = 1.158 52 / 42 = 1.238 If the larger case had lugs in the same proportion as those on the smaller case, it would have been about 48.6 km lug-to-lug. 48.6 / 42 ≈ 44 / 38 This would have made the larger case much more reasonable for many more people.
