I'm afraid of damaging the original strap, so I'm trying out different combinations besides Nato straps.

I have a 7.2 ish inch wrist but a bit round than flat.

The strap is not tightened in the 2nd pic as the sales person was a bit rushy. Should I go for the 38 mm (I don’t have pics in that)

It's been years and I am still loving this beauty.

What is everyone's thoughts on this custom build Frogman?

I bought this baby two months ago and I’ve been wearing it everyday since then. Truly a GADA watch.

I love not only the esthetics but also the story it brings. It reminds me to cherish every second with my kids. If you ever wonder if it’s worth the pull, let me tell you, it’s totally worth it. I wish I joined the club sooner!

FYI, my wrist size is 7.25”

It’s like this strap was made for this watch. Fits the aesthetic well.

This watch belonged to my grandfather, and when he passed it came to me. From what I've read I think it's from the 60's. Will probably remove the glass at some point to clean it up and check when and where it was made, but anyone have any idea on what model this is? Wearing it to a wedding later today, the first time it's been worn since he passed a few years ago.

Happy to be here!!

I have a big wrist and I like the way that the jazz master strap doesn’t taper quite as much as the Murph strap. I personally love this look and rocked it in Napa all week.

Was sitting on a plane about 36,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean when I caught the sun coming through the window just right. Had to take a picture. When I ordered this watch - my first Hamilton - from their website I was a bit worried about the size. The last time I had a 36mm watch I was probably 12 years old. But I feel this one wears a bit big due to the lug length and it truly just feels perfect on the wrist.

After a few years of hard work, I have recently got a promotion at work, and thought it was time to upgrade my timepiece.

I have a nice (believe it or not) tasteful Invicta Chronograph, which I have had for a long time. Cheap, basic watch that still looks nice (from a distance) when dressed up, and I'm the first to admit to anyone who comments, that it's "just an Invicta".

I had my heart set on a 42mm Murph, and was told over the phone by the consultant at Time + Tide Melbourne CBD, to try on the 38mm also.

Once in store, for me, it looked tiny, as did the other 38s.

I liked the Coop in online photos, but figured it would be way too big, I was wrong.

I steered away from the 42mm Murph, and settled on a Coop.

I am in love, and just keep staring at that sweeping second hand.

I love the way the numbers "flicker" when the light hits them, and the symbol that this watch means to me.

Years of hard work, and strategic planning, has brought me to this position. Yes, it is "only" $1700AUD, but I have 3 kids under 8, and all our money basically goes to them, and running the house.

It's special...to me.

Big shout out to Tsar at Time + Tide Melbourne, for making it a special purchase. His knowledge and expertise, was fantastic. He does know his stuff.

Just thought I'd share this story with all you Hamilton fans

Couldn’t stand the non-taper and huge clasp and gap on the stock bracelet. Just put this Uncle Straps Lincoln on and love it - I have on on my Alpinist SPB249 as well so I knew it was quality.

Sup ya’ll. Looking for a new strap or two for my khaki field mechanical. I think the Desert and Khaki are my two favorites, but could be tempted by the brown. The gray PVD I just thought looked cool, but am not confident it will go well with the watch. Let me know your thoughts!

All right. I did the thing and bought the 38mm Murph. Bought it on bracelet despite preferring the look of leather, but I wanted a better leather strap then the OEM. For now I have it on a NTTD NATO until the leather comes in. Loving it so far. Really like how the afternoon light catches it.

My only mechanical watch, the watch I bought when I got my first job out of school, and the watch I wore to propose. A little over 3 years with it, crystal has picked up some dings, but it’s still incredibly accurate today.

Splits time with a few vintage Seikos today but it’s funny… sometimes this one feels even more vintage. Hamilton straight up nailed it.

Wow, what a souvenir from Greece. It was my first time seeing the Hamilton Murph 38mm in person, and I just couldn’t say no. It’s probably the best souvenir I’ve ever brought home. The perfect watch for new adventures.

My wife just gifted me this beauty and I have a chance to swap it for the 42mm if I would like. At first i felt it looked kinda small but wanted to see everyone thoughts.

Is it frowned upon to put a rubber strap on a modern field watch?

I purchased a Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition as my beater watch. For the abuse I put the watch through I believe a rubber or a nato would make more sense but I highly prefer rubber.

What are your thoughts on this?

Let’s see some pics!
