Love this comparison! Love both these models. I bought the SPB211 after watching your review more time than I would like to admit. Main reason is I can't have my daily without date, and in my region the SPB211 is half the price of the murph. I just hope Uncle will release the senator bracelet like the one on the murph with alpinist endlink, as it will be the perfect bracelet for me.
I like the screw down crown on the Alpinist and added water resistance but Hamilton has a better movement and brand name. I own the Murph and absolutely love it. I would like to get the Oyster Uncle strap but they are always sold out
I prefer the baby Alpinist. That particular model is not super easy to get a hold of, but it is out here. I have the SPB159 on the Seiko Alpinist bracelet (same one as on the SPB155) and love it though.
I have the Murph. The movement is superior. +/-1 second a day. I prefer a brushed case (less finger prints) and it's thinner (better for NATO straps). Seiko will obviously have better lume but the Arabic numerals aren't lumed (unlike the Murph)so what's the point. And the Seiko movement is trash compared to the Hamilton. +/-16 seconds a day or whatever. Garbage. I wear my Murph on a khaki colored ribbed NATO from CNS watch bands and it looks amazing.
This is a little unfair ... you're comparing a personal anecdote about the Hamilton's accuracy with the stated accuracy of the Seiko … in reality the Hamilton's stated accuracy (or really the ETA 2824's) is just about neck and neck with the Seiko's (+/-30 for the ETA vs -15/+25 for the Seiko). In hand from anecdotal experience the Seiko is usually around 5 seconds fast. So the difference isn't that stark. Not only that but also the Seiko can be regulated at home. Also you only need 1 lumed hour marker to tell the time as long as the hands are lumed and 12-6 line is about perpendicular to the run of your wrist.
@moreplatesmoreface I have 3 hamiltons all within 2 seconds per day and the accuracy stays great even when low down the power reserve. My seiko 6r35 not so accurate and thr 6r35 I have worse its about plus 11 seconds per day if fully wound when power reserve lower its 30+ fast this defeats the object of 60 hr reserve . .
I think the Seiko is more interesting with the dial and polished sides on the case. But I do like the taper on the Hamiltons bracelet a lot better. I have the green baby Alpinist on a Parnis jubilee, which I got from a review you did awhile back. It fits both Alpinists.
Even though I think Seiko charges too much for a very basic (but solid) movement, I'll never stop disliking the Powermatic. I mean why would you want a mechanical movement that's made to be disposable and unrepairable?
I have a Hamilton Khaki Field automatic 38. The movement is crazy accurate. Better than my Junghans Max Bill automatic and on par with my Sinn 556aRS. I loved Interstellar and i visited a local AD and the felt underwhelmed by the 38mm Murph. I like the green Baby Alpinist 155 from Seiko but I've heard the 6R35 is not well regulated in some units.
I had the old alpinist (6r15) on that exact bracelet. I ended up selling all my Seiko watches because i struggled to adjust the movements. The 6r is just not comparable in terms on quality and accuracy with the ETA based movements. Recently i started looking again for another watch, and this Hamilton seems like an interesting proposition.
I had both and sold both. The Murph is a good watch with an infinitely more precise movement but it lacks a screw-down crown. The Seiko is prettier and could even be compared to an Explorer but it has 3 major flaws: Too thick, crappy bracelet and worst movement ever.

I got the same baby alpinist last year and its an absolutely stunning watch ❤

Both look great but that Seiko dial is beautiful.

They are in stock now if you still want one.

MAMACOO！Every time you exhibit one of these watches I become super tempted to get one.
What is that rainbow effect on them?
Seiko for me
Hamilton is boring. Seiko is artistic
Faux patina 🤮

Well between those two I gotta go with the Seiko.
Hamilton Murp 38 for me.
Baby A all day. But the Murph is great

The H-10 is NOT a powermatic. It has two more jewels, and a non synthetic escapement. It's also repairable
@@clash79the h 10 is a powermatic. Powermatic is a series of movements, not just the 23j that Tissot uses.

Definitely the Hamilton. If the Seiko was less than half of its rrp then I might consider it... Nah, I'm still taking the Hamilton.
The dial is too nice for the baby alpinist that it edges out the Interstellar connection for the Hammy
Seiko, I am ok with accuracy issue, the alpinist now are rare to find... because they have thr new prospex.
I would have never guessed you prefer Seiko 🤣. Great watches both of them and great video
I like both. I own the murph, love the movie connection - which is my only reason for preferring it overall.

What do you have to replace the 2 ?
@@daveLin104 well, right now nothing. I only have divers !
Hammy wins! ❤
Seiko just has better lume and a better dial, bracelet, build, a date. Tbh it's a no contest
Seiko has crappy movements and some people don’t want a date on an automatic watch it’s a pain to set.
@@Xraycrayon what's the point of having a watch if you need to take your phone out to check the date
I believe no man can say no to #mamacoo
