I bought this HMT Janata for just ₹390. It has a genuine HMT movement, but it was in pretty rough condition when I got it. I serviced and polished it myself at home. The dial appears to be an aftermarket replacement and has "REPLACE" printed on it, although a good friend of mine believes it's actually an original HMT factory replacement dial. The caseback also looks slightly different from the ones usually seen on HMT Janatas.

Considering the price I paid and the work I put into restoring it, would you say I got a good deal, or did I get scammed?

Lately, life has felt overwhelming ! academic pressure, family issues, and constant thoughts about my career. It all became a little too much.

So I decided to take a break, slow down, and hit pause on my fast-moving life for a while. Sometimes, all you need is a little time with yourself.

And that's exactly why I went on a solo trip to Axis Mall, for the very first time. It may not be a grand destination, but it was exactly the escape I needed.

I stopped by my local watch shop the other day to get a new strap. While I was there, I noticed this watch sitting on the shelf and couldn't resist asking about it. To my surprise, the shopkeeper told me it was a brand-new NOS (New Old Stock) piece, with only a tiny scratch on the outer dial from years of storage (yes right now it has a couple of scratches on the crystal as I have been wearing it to my school for 10 days straight). He asked ₹400 for the watch, ₹120 for a new battery, and ₹200 for a new stainless-steel mesh strap, bringing the total to ₹720. Do you think it was a good deal?

I stopped by an old watch shop near my house and found these watches. I bought all of them for only ₹800. Was it a good deal, or did I overpaid !?.

This is my late grandpa's HMT sundar, which

was passed down to me after his dismissal

back in 2019. 11 years old me back then

thought that it's a piece of junk (I used to

love my baby G's) and with negligence, I had

stored it in a box. Fast forward to 2024 when

analog and vintage watches started growing

onto me, I took it out of the box, serviced

the movement and decided to keep it as it is,

afterall this carries my grandpa's legacy in

it.
