I like Janta more, thanks for sharing. Any chance of them fitting red second hand in that Janta?

Congratulations!

wow, finally we see this watch. I thought for a while, you forgot. I like the crown very much.

I guess, you could just drop in current janta dial, replace crystal and have case buffed, the watch will have fresh look. However, it will destroy its vintage character.

Thanks Munno, I am in Pune today, the first thing I did is to take out this watch and photograph it.

I am going to do nothing of the above;-), at most I might ask them to replace the crystal and lightly clean the dial with a soft brush to remove the dust particles.

Best,
Hari

good call. :-!

 

[munno]

Thanks for posting! It appears that I have the exact same model. Nice to know I have a authentic vintage!

cheers,
gigfy

your's is in good condition. Did you bought it in same condition or you poured TLC into it? ;-)

 

[munno]

I love the look of the "Deco" Janata, especially when fitted with a red sweep hand

I've been trying to get that combination with no success. The deco model appears to be old one and not many shops have it. Same with seconds hand, not many keep spare red seconds hand. o|

Oh well, one day I'll get it.

What is the dia of Kasushal?

I found this watch sitting quitely and neglected at the HMT factory outlet at Pune yesterday.

a nice reward for patience hunter. :-!

 

[munno]

Anyone know how I can get my hands on one? Someone should make a sticky with members who can help procure these for other members.

there are many who can help. Try sending PM to OP.

 

[munno]

Nice!

 

[munno]

looks fantastic! How big is sound of alarm?

 

[munno]

backer, forgive me for this but I couldn't make out pattern from your response. All my hand wound HMT watches can't take no more then 11 turns. I have long fingers so may be I can turn more in one go but you gave 12 rotations (that's nearly full wound) then after 7 hrs couple more and then 10 hrs later 15 more. 10 roations of mine makes my watches run around 30 hrs but yours can take so many turns in short periods???

Hari/AB, any clues?

 

[munno]

nice one, Hari. My heart says get one of those pocket watch but mind says, what would I do with it?

 

[munno]

Use it. I have started carrying my pocket watch to work. I carry the watch in the "watch pocket" of my Jeans, the chain secured to the belt loop, very convienient.

hmm, interesting. Convienient, sure I agree. But, wearing pocket watch on jeans at work may need little more courage on my part.

 

[munno]

:-d just leave the shirt out don't tuck it in. ;-)

yeah, wish we didn't had dress code at work.

 

[munno]

she liked it so much that she has now appropriated it for herself!
Hari

wife is into HMT watches as well, now that makes things easier.

 

[munno]

Pics by any chance?

Congratulations Hari, yet another find. I remember those straps, my grandfather had it on his Sona.
