My small Closet for HMTs

How's my small closet for my small HMT collection? Should I get more HMTs now or move to some Indian Microbrands? Saw a few interesting one's though and thinking to go for them, what say?

Purchased HMT Pocket watch AM for ₹1600

So I happened to visit Tawakkal Watches at Mumbai, and I couldn't resist to buy an AM pocket watch they had. The dial is repainted, AM Case and a genuine wrist watch case back with brushed finished. This pocket watch (0231) is keeping time 30+ hours since it was winded, but loosing time a bit (adjustable though not a big deal).

What do you guys think, worth it? It was not an impulse buy as I mostly buy from HMT Showroom or NOS watches from trusted sellers, but thought to add this in my collection just for fun.

3 Generations, 1 Legend: Meeting the Family Guarding a 1947 Indian Chief #indianchief #vtwin #rare #kolhapur

https://youtu.be/JnqetnU5Drc?si=8cTAmoh8jSt-D6ge

Some motorcycles are more than just machines; they are family heirlooms.

In today’s video, I had the incredible honor of meeting three generations of a family - grandfather, father, and son - who have preserved this stunning 1947 Indian Chief.

​We dive into the history of this "Big Twin," talk about what it’s like to maintain a 74-cubic-inch flathead in the modern day, and hear the stories of how this bike has stayed in the family for decades.

This is a true look at Indian motorcycling heritage right here in our streets.

Highlights:

​Meeting the owners across three generations.

​Cold start and walkaround of the 1947 Indian Chief.

​The unique "Skirted Fenders" and Girder Fork design.

​Why this bike is considered the "Rolls Royce" of motorcycles.

Our Generational watchmaker at Kolhapur and our family's vintage enthusiasm discussion

https://youtu.be/\_8gmPN6KfWM?si=Yuuz8cl1-ycp60Ap

This isn't just a review; it's a tribute. Today I’m sharing the story of my grandfather’s Henri Sandoz / Favre-Leuba "Marriage Watch" - a timepiece he wore until his last breath in 2017.

​From being invited by Royal Enfield in September 2023 to celebrate three generations of Bullet riders, to taking this watch back to Mahesh Watch Company at Bindu Chauk, Kolhapur, this journey is about preserving what matters.

​⌚ In this Video:

​The story of wearing my grandfather’s watch at the RE J-Series launch.

​Riding the 1964 Bullet that connects me to my father and grandfather.

​Visiting the legendary watchmaker who has serviced our family watches for years.

​Upgrading my HMT Kohinoor with 3 new Jubilee straps.

HMT Skeleton SASL-03 strap suggestions

So I was wondering about which straps to go with for my HMT Skeleton SASL-03 and the winners were tan croc and navy blue croc. What say? Any other suggestions?

Shady toll booth at Wadala-Mahul road

Firstly, no offense in giving toll, but for online payment, the Bank details (in 2nd pic) are of personal account rather that of "Mumbai Port Trust" .

He claimed that the toll exists from past 14 years, so the "Trust" was unable to open it's Bank account?
