An incredible watch for the day. Everything I want in a watch. Readable dial, good water resistance, Sapphire and screw down crown, excellent lume, diastar shape, made for hard use, killer mix of brushed and polished surfaces, reliable movement. On an fkm NATO for maximum comfort.

Models like this are such a stark departure from the mostly hideous watches one currently sees on the HMT website. I bought this just a couple of months ago - so, they still can make models that are easy on the eye.
Guys I bought it in 800 rupees. Good deal ?
The dial has some water damage near the crown. When I bought it it got stuck frequently and on tapping it used to start again.Got serviced it in 150 rupees and now its working fine.
What do you think about it is it a good deal
HMT Vijay Grey NOS
Had purchased this from HMT website sone years ago. They never listed this one on their website but it was available in their showroom at that time. I had purchased yellow vijay which was faulty so asked them for replacement and requested to send a silver one instead. Later got the yellow one from another seller.

Where to Service an Old HMT Watch in Bangalore?
I found my father's old HMT Avinash manual watch. It's taken a considerable beating. Where can I restore it to working condition? I am based in Bangalore. Any leads to good shops that can restore it? Thanks.

I am 75 years young, and love this hobby. But this is my first watch post ever. I had never heard of this brand, but when I saw this elegant little time piece online, I just had to have it. It has a mechanical wind up movement and would you believe it? It keeps perfect time to the minute over a 24 hour period. I wound it up all the way until I hit the stop. It easily runs for a full p 24 hours. Anyway, I love the vintage stuff being an older guy and this watch reminds me of the Timex I had when I was a kid here in Western new York. Thank you for taking the time to look at my watch and I sure would like to hear what you fellas have to say about it. Thank you so much.

Commemorative watch released in 1997. The quality is top class - hurts all the more to see the new (hideous) models launched to mark the 80th Independence Day.
