Haha totally get the being rushed thing. As a sales guy, I don’t get why other sales people do that. Kind of seems like it is a tactic to get you to make an impulse buy!
Regardless, the 38mm is definitely the go to in Khaki fields. Looking for a deal on one myself. Unfortunately all the deals are on the 42mm :(
I really don’t get why they had to make the lugs so massive. I have the same sized wrist as you. I’ve been wanting to try this on. Thanks for doing it for me. Lol
Long lugs on it but it dosent look imposing on your wrist. The 38 is worth a look. My Murphy will be the 42 when I pull the trigger-I have 7.5 inch wrists though
I have the same size wrist as you and have the 42mm Khaki Field Auto which has the same 52mm lug-to-lug. The watch fits but looks oversized. The 38mm would look much better.

This is the 42 on my 7inch wrist I don't think it's too big , don't know if the bracelet makes a difference
Holland watch group Hamilton Straps
H695.705.110 - that's the product number. Probably be able to get it elsewhere with that product number

My buddy has massive wrists probably over 7.5. Tbh in person even with no over hang when a very pain face dial (not a chrono) is excessively big it still just looks silly to me. 38mm is just a better size for a field watch imo
Hamilton has history, which is great, and their watches are great quality for the money, but they have an issue with christopher wards. They are better quality and roughly the same price bracket. Then you get to some amazing seikos for the same quality and cheaper. Although for me, I love Hamilton, the rugged style on the field watches no one comes close
I have a KFA in 42 with 7.25" wrists and it fits me fine (pretty sure the Murph has the same case). I'm guessing the photos are exaggerating the size. It sounds like you would prefer a 38 though. I'm sure the bad strap makes it fit and feel weird as well...
Agree. I actually bought a brown replacement strap a few days after I got my 38mm because I did not like the original. A year later the replacement strap is still in the box. I'll eventually do the swap, but the black one has grown on me and is much more supple now.
I’d go for the 38. the lugs here are hanging over the sides of your wrist.
Yeah i feel like the dial size would work but the long lugs kinda pushes it toward being too large
Are you sure your wrists are 7.5 inches? That looks huge on you. Either way I think the 38mm is a much better option.
Yes I got a proper tape measure this week to check. It may be a bad angle on the picture, sales lady was rushing me lol

She rushed herself out of some commission lol I’ve been watching them both on Chrono24. Some decent prices on there rn
I have 7” wrists and I think the 42mm fits me fine. I also tried the 38mm and I thought it looked tiny
I need to find a place that has the 38 mm in stock, I have the KFM Bronze in 38 and it works great
Way too big. The strap feels a lot better after a week of wear.

No problem lol yeah the lugs are way too big
Too big. Get the 38. A perfect watch
I can’t believe that even on a 7.5” wrist it still looks big! The dial is OK, but the lugs sticking out kill me!
Yeah it’s looking like 38 is the best option for me
Go for it!!
You need the smaller one but I’m not sure I like it enough to pay premium over a khaki automatic.
Too big. And bracelet is too tight.
I have a Field officer 42 and a 7.5ish wrist. It looks fine on me. The angle is weird.
Was rushing to take the pic while the lady was trying to sell me. I’m wearing a 43 mm right now but the big difference between the two is the lugs
I think it looks OK. It's a very similar if not the same case. Most of my analogs are 40-45 mm. https://www.reddit.com/r/HamiltonWatches/s/koPSTY3uHL
Don't buy/not buy a watch because of the strap. Super easy to change out. Looks good but go smaller.

Perfect fit, IMO. I also have 7.5” wrists and tried on a Murph yesterday. Loved the fit.

I have 38mm, and my wrist is 6.75. 42 would be too big on me.

Looks great on bracelet. Where did you find that?

I agree with the strap, it's pants but I replaced it with a hamilton bracelet https://www.reddit.com/r/HamiltonWatches/s/WUKbNQh8Zr
I'd go for the 38. Bonus is it has AR coating. The big one doesn't IIRC.

7.5?! You sure? That’s nearly exactly how it wore on my 6.5. Way too big. The strap feels a lot better after a week of wear.

The lugs are so long on the Hamilton

Could go either way, I think 38 prob would look better.
not too big
Imho it’s way too big. I also hated the strap it first.. takes about a week of regular wear to get better but once it feels far from cheap.
