I'm having trouble finding a firm source identifying its movement.

It is really a crapshoot with the Accu-Swiss chronos. Bulova used both the ETA / Valjoux 7750 and Selita SW500. The only way to verify is to remove the case back but not an easy task, uses proprietary screw heads.

Setting that aside, I have both the silver/white dial Murren and two of the Tellaro models (blue and the silver/white). Fit, finish and build quality is very high. These have great wrist presence...they are actually very nice watches and are a steal if you are wanting a mechanical chrono.

Major caution - would highly/strenuously recommend only purchase if it has Bulova factory warranty. Believe Bulova had some reliability issues with the Accu-Swiss line. Purchased my Murren new from Amazon. It ran for about 2 or 3 days and quit. Sent it to Bulova which repaired it under warranty...took about 2-3 weeks total turnaround.

I can second the beauty of the watch, and I've enjoyed mine. I did have to go through two others that had functional issues before getting one that works as it should.

I contacted them several times and I contacted them this morning again. To my suprise they issued the cashback 5min ago :) Happy ending for me.

Nice! Now I can get back to being angry that they sold this before the next 15/20% : https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/auc ... /017030-1/

Finally Hamilton is adding this watch to their collection almost 5 years later after the movie release. Just saw it on Instagram, it's the Hamilton Field "Murph" Auto.
The MSRP is a little much at over $940+.
Wonder how much they'll get down to or if it's popular enough to offer a premium. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201902 ... 5b778f.jpg[/IMG]

@watch_your_wristwatch
That Murph is extremely handsome, but.....Looks somewhat like this discontinued Khaki Pioneer, which runs a handwind, high-beat ETA-2801. The H-10 is a deal breaker, especially at triple the price.

yinzburgher wrote: Tue Feb 12, 2019 12:14 am Apologies for jumping the gun a bit on the CWS $100 discount code. I was at work but it was slow so I scrolled through emails, found the code and tried it on the blue Oris Artix over $1K and it worked. So I tried it on an Oris BC3 over $500 and that worked. So I tried a $370 Hamilton Jazzmaster and that worked too. So I posted it as a deal thinking it probably applied to everything over a certain amount. In my head I was picturing a free-for-all on Freddy C's and Eco-Drives and VSA Chronographs. Then I got back to work but intermittently checked in to see that the code wasn't working on very many watches. I wish CWS would have provided a list of eligible watches in their email or on their site. Basically it was just dumb luck that the first 3 I tried happened to all be included. Anyway, sorry for the confusion but I hope some people got some deals out of it. The code ends at 2pm EST on 2/12 so there is still time to use it. Here are a few of the remaining watches the EGDVDAY code applies to. There are likely others that it applies to that I haven't tried. Don't forget to go through Ebates/Rakuten for 3% cash back.

All 3 Oris BC3 models - starting at $458
https://www.certifiedwatchstore.com/cat ... q=oris+bc3

Frederique Constant GMT - $668
https://www.certifiedwatchstore.com/fre ... 0s5b6.html

Oris Artis Blue Dial - $939
https://www.certifiedwatchstore.com/wat ... 085mb.html

FC Runabout - $443
https://www.certifiedwatchstore.com/fre ... ms6b6.html

Longines Conquest VHP - $750
https://www.certifiedwatchstore.com/lon ... 64766.html

Baume and Mercier Capeland Chronographs - $1348

No apologies necessary.
Certified's fault for not making the applicable selection more easily searchable.

For anyone who might still be on the fence on making a purchase, I got this email from Certified after playing around and failing to lock in the $100 discount.
$5 ain't much, but it's something.

This could be a Bolster Trifecta contender. 36mm is a good size unless you have Chewbacca wrists.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Still seems to be active for me on mobile. I think on desktop it made me enter all the shipping info and select 2 day shipping before the discount would appear.

I’m at 6.75 and love my 36mm combat 6, but I think the diver bezel would make it too small.

I contacted CWS yesterday and asked about it, and it seems the deal only applies to watches you find via this link: https://www.certifiedwatchstore.com/eve ... ivery.html
