You can try from pune if possible.... last time it was sourced from pune for me... I was speaking about a month back..... but that was a black dial variant with red clues...

I have no idea. I am also looking for a few and have requested my local HMT to see if they can arrange. I suggest you do the same.

 

[akvikram]

Ordered

this one, Yes i know its a redial..... but cant resist.

 

[akvikram]

Thanks hari..... bought it on the bay, seller has clearly stated as repainted and refurbished.... pics are from seller, once I receive I can give more idea.
may be a redial to match with the original design....

not a redial, IMO, it is genuine. I call it the Janata ADH (Art Deco Hindi). where did you buy it from?

 

[akvikram]

HMT Urdu Numerals:

Nice ones HARI, i believe its latest addition....

Wats your opinion on these two, yes its redial........

 

[akvikram]

I must say you have bulls eye..... appreciate and thanks for your time....

the blue is not a pilot dial at all. perhaps an old janata dial which has been redone with glued indices. Look at how thin the applied markers at 3 6 and 9 are. the fake hmt logo is precariously glue to the dial. the real Pilot has the markers chunkier and riveted and the hmt logo nicely angled.

due to the many quality flaws present even in a genuine HMT, one can really appreciate the quality of HMT only when one sees these pathetic fakes.

 

[akvikram]

I am noticing this for some time, usually Janata will be sold out in couple of days once they are in stock. But for some days, Janata is available.
wondering people have lost interest or may be cos of the price hike.... I speaking about official site....

 

[akvikram]

They should be stocking it more in the showrooms, we can buy more....

they have around 10,000 Chinar Janatas.

 

[akvikram]

Hari, need a suggestion in the watch for this dial.

Round, and dia is approx 28mm..... I believe kohinoor case will suit..... any idea on this?
I managed to get the dial only, now need a watch for this...

My another original watch in the same dial....

 

[akvikram]

3 exotics together....|>

 

[akvikram]

Is the one on bracelet the Jawan or Janta?

Its a Janata.... will try to post a more clear pic, my photographic skills is poor.

 

[akvikram]

this is a better pic i believe....

 

[akvikram]

thanks hari, The dial started corroding, i couldn't capture that with out sunlight. will try to capture in bright sunlight.....

@vikram, Nice Janata with the genuine old style hands.

 

[akvikram]

any one has seen the akbar?

I have come across this dial alone, not sure how the watch looks like, dial has clean and awesome looks.....
doesn't fits in kohinoor or janata case.... any ideas of the case?....

 

[akvikram]

Dial measures 30mm, my janata deluxe doesn't fits.... so the search is still on....

never heard of the Akbar. but good find and thanks fo showing it to us.

Try the Janata deluxe case.

 

[akvikram]

Thanks for the info prashant, when i get some time will try with a Jawahar case.....

I have seen this watch last year the one that i saw had a chinar leaf on the dial and had a case similar to jawahar. AFAIK it was a watch manufatcured by HMT chinar watches.HTH
