Some thing went wrong in there:Frustrati while posting pics

A famous watch dealer 's show room watch under renovation at my place
Just dropped in to have a look ..the staffs were busy arranging the watches in the show cases ( completely quartz costly watches) , one guy had few HMT watches and asked his boss, whether to display these or not!!
I grabbed a a box from him & that was HMT Sona white dial hand wound ..very old stock, But new


got it with guarantee cardclap:

& also got a SEIKO 5 Automatic D&D ( my sixth SEIKO 5) Yellow dial round
clean watch with original bracelet:)


@ trammway: Have asked for one more SONA white dial from him, lets wait!

Yesterday some thing went wrong while posting pics...I thoughtstupid:
Even my write up was wrong..it is a SEIKO 22 mm UNISEX 17 jewel hand wound with magnifying window for date

Sir, You have some magic to read my mindlol:

The moment I saw this, I wanted to ask you if you could check with the dealer for one more white dial Sona/Pilot or any other military styled HMT.

clap:Got it just an hour before>>" White dial Sona" for you..( No MORE)
JAWAN is the only military watch from HMT, all other stuff you see at various sites are FAKES ( especially one with Arabic numbers & a Arrow on the dial is a FAKE....they are Taiwanese Dups !!)
& for your kind information: There is no white dial PILOT watches, that to are fakes OR imitation White Sona dial has a PILOT script instead of SONA:Frustrati
any way while returning..had a call from our friend ..& news was MONDIA the Spanish watch ( Swiss movements though!!)
Clean & neat H/W quick date adjust watch with SOFT PVC Original strap!!




And couldn't stop with that saw this beauty 52mm SEIKO automatic,( largest diameter round watch in my collection) with original bracelet


& finally my POLJOT H/W date( Made in USSR) only watch arrived after service, still not confident with this Russian machine ( due to lack of suitable parts)

@Powertwin thank you so much. When comes to HMT in my watch collection you are the only one to be remembered.

Ok, now my update as discussed over the phone I went to the TIMEX showroom with my wify and she gifted me a brand new Timex automatic watch (20% deepavali discount made the trick). Here is the picture of my actual Timex purchase, We went thinking of buying the calendar watch as advertised but somehow I was attracted towards the all black automatic watch from Timex SLX series.

Got a gift from my wife, Titan Tandem from the Automatic series.

I have got my HMT Excel, what a wonderful watch I must say. Thanks to Powertwin for helping me getting it.

So now as on date,you have 1+3= 4 New watches to wear on the Festival day ( DIWALI)
Hope you'll choose to wear the Lovely TIMEX rather then the Friendly HMTslol:on that particular day...what say??:)

This one's not an automatic, right?
You'll have to wind it every few days, I think.

I got my first watch when I was standard 3, a hand-me-down Favre Leuba from my mom. Since then, I have collected several watches and added them to my collection including a very rare 1965 automatic gold watch from Citizen.

Below are the 2 of my daily-wear watches. These are not the pics of my personal watches but what I could find online. I will post the pics of my other watches soon.



This is a Blue dial Fossil Speedway that I received on my wedding.



This is a 2004 Swatch Pheidipides celebrating the Athens Olympics. The consignment was submerged in the Mumbai Floods. Only the main hands work and not the sub-dials.

I also have the HMT with dual display gifted to me by my principal for topping the list, a slimline watch, a Carriage by Timex and some more. Not a great collection, but an interesting one. The only one I don't have and want to add some day is a moonphase watch.

Though these watches are meant for festival, i think lovely & friendly already tempted me wear it.

@karankapoor, thats a nice watch. I am impressed with Titan's latest offerings. Its on par with its international counterparts.

What would be the price for that watch?

Yeah thats true we have to wind it every 36 hours but then its one of a kind from a Indian company :)

Thanks, No doubt titan has recently come up with some really good designs for more designs check there web page.

This watch with gold dial is priced @ 16995/- and in SS finish 15995/-

Next on my list..
