Nice watch..I guess it is nass 12 right? I have nass 13. Any idea what's the difference between these two variants? Friends can someone throw some light on these differences? Looks wise both are identical. I find no difference.

Dhaivat Dhruv and Hari...after comparing both of your roman watches i changed my mind i decided to go with white dial as white dial is more crisp IMHO. Unfortunately i placed order for yellow dial yester itself. But no worries i just now called to hmt bangalore marketing division and requested them to change my order from yellow dial to white dial. They said that my order is just about to dispatch from their dispatch center as they have already done packaging...but to my utter surprise they humbly accepted my request and now they are going to send me roman white dial

Today there is a new quartz watch "MGGL 09 YD" listed under the collection category "up load"
I already have this watch in my collection. Purchased this from a hmt dealer in hyderabad two months back. Guys this is a small watch which IMO suits well to ladies. Approx case dia is 32mm w/o crown and lug2lug is 35mm. Here are the pics

 

[jalal-akbar]

Guys how are you all? Today it was a hectic day for me so couldn't find time to come online. Did i miss any deal on hmt website? any newbies listed today? I see few quartz watches listed under "up load" category. That black beauty VGSL 02 BD appealed to me and i placed my order

 

[jalal-akbar]

hahaha........Bro don't worry..."my bhi kasam khata hoon pilot black dial ki....jab kabhi shakti sgcs 05 b dikhenga to aap zaroor yaad ayenge muje" Even this goes the same with you too...please dont forget this friend when you come across any

Jalal...if you ever come across shakti sgcs 05 b then "tume hmt pilot black dial ki kasam" dont forget that you have a fellow wus pal named "dhaivat dhruv" who desires it too...plz buy 2 pieces.

Yes Vikrama may god willing your words may come true

Jalal have patience...most of the watches will definitely turn up (may not be all 4 handers...)

 

[jalal-akbar]

So i was exploring this interesting habit about watch wearing style some time back. Many of you would have seen people wearing their wristwatch upside down like this : especially old timers.

My friends that is really a good write up. Thanks. I just wanted to add one thing though not about wearing upside down but a new trend these days. Now a days people are preferring to wear their wrist watches to their right hand unlike in previous days where we are supposed to wear it on left hand. One main advantage of wearing watch on right hand is that when you shake hand with someone then your watch will also get into focus

 

[jalal-akbar]

You are right vikrama....looks like these days hmt has gained some momentum...did you observe that they have improved the picture quality also...far better than what is supposed to have few days back

Many people might not have noticed today's strange thing on HMT web site. NASS 03 WD had appeared for barely two minutes & the picture it was showing was actually NASS 13 WD and price tag was Rs. 7500.
I had to pinch myself to be sure, as NASS 13 WD was also listed there with a price of Rs. 4150!!.
Even before i clicked the mouse, quickly the photo got changed to NASS 03 WD and it went in a jiffy!! Subhash also stayed brifefly for two minutes before vanishing

Now you know, why the models which you would love to buy will always be under "stock awaited" section !

Today two brothers arrived from Shanghai and two brothers of India received them heartily. My apology for posting shanghai watch pics here but couldn't resist its beauty as they too are more adorable like our hmt pilots

 

[jalal-akbar]

Guys today i received my hmt "Subhash" one more gorgeous watch in my collection. Here are the pics

 

[jalal-akbar]

Guys those who are asking me or those who are interested in shanghai watches please PM me..I will definitely answer your queries...discussing about the same here IMHO is not a good idea. Hope you understand me.

 

[jalal-akbar]

Please clarify my doubt

Guys recently i acquired few automatic watches from hmt website. Among them for Prakruti YD when i shake it holding the watch in my hand i can feel the rotar inside is rotating making some unpleasant noise. Given a good shake i can feel that entire movement inside is moving. I feel so bad about this watch

Where as this is not the case with my other Prakruti White Dial Watch. I have also my NASS 13 which is very quite even on shaking vigorously.

Is this something common or uncommon...please share your experience.

 

[jalal-akbar]

Dear hmt before you wind down completely please bring out one unique model as a good bye watch which we can cherish, adore admire generation after generation. Hmt you listening to me? Hopefully yes

 

[jalal-akbar]

Looks like this is common with some watches. Thanks for sharing your experience.

My Akhil makes similar noise.............

Even my seiko 5s makes this sound but my hmt rajat doesnt...i think its rotor inside that makes sound...

 

[jalal-akbar]

Guys today Euan VGSS 02 arrived home Really a cool watch. I guess this watch is made keeping in mind the tastes of today's youth. This is inline with today's fastrack, timex etc watches. The combination of brushed finish and polish at the lugs is adding charm to its design. Crystal is glass which is bit domed shaped and pretty good one. Strap is of good quality and i like that "hmt" mark on buckle and on leather back. Ok here are the pics

 

[jalal-akbar]

Dear Hari, thank you very much for the clarification. Even i doubt the same that my watch rotor might be rubbing against the case back and/ or the movement is not fitted properly. Any ways i talked to hmt people and returned back the my watch. Hope i may get a new piece or the same piece with problem fixed. Once again thank you for your valuable reply.

a whirring sound is normal. Grating or scratchy noise is not normal and would mean that the rotor is rubbing the case back for some reason. Reason can be a simple movement holder/spacer issue or a faulty rotor bearing. Have it looked at if that is possible.
