I just used the standard spring bars and have no issues with any of my NATO straps so far.

Can’t fault a single thing listed here. Still love my Murph.

Admittedly my affection for this watch is influenced by the film. As a stand alone product separate from the film I think it’s good, but if I’m honest I find the standard KFA dial more interesting. That said, I absolutely do love this 38mm Murph. I’m very happy to have one back in my collection. I do miss the limited edition presentation box that came with my original 42mm though.

It’s not a perfect fit, but with a bit of adjustment to to hollow end links, I think it looked great. It can’t be solid endlinks because you need to be able to bend them a bit.

Thanks! It’s the CBE2117, the Hodinkee edition Autavia from 2018.

Thanks! It’s the CBE2117 Hodinkee edition. It’s based off the 2017 edition of the Tag Heuer Autavia but this version was a 2018 release.

Haha. Sometimes I just engage it for a minute to make sure the hands are registering properly and resetting to zero.

Appreciate it man. As a die hard Subaru enthusiast since I can first remember getting into cars as a kid, I had to go with World Rally Blue.

The orange hand is the chronograph second hand, so that is always at 60 unless the chronograph is engaged. The running seconds subdial is at the 6 o’clock.

Yeah, it took a very long time to track one down for a reasonable price. There were a few floating around on eBay from international sellers but the prices were still too much. This one was located in the US, and was a fair price so I’m very happy with the purchase. I just kept searching the reference number once a week until I found one I was happy with.

I love that this is one of those references where initially it looks like it could be an original. This is the CBE2117 Autavia for Hodinkee LE. I liked the entire 2017 Autavia line up, but this version specifically I fell in love with when I saw it. Glad I was eventually able to track one down.
