I just love these HMT vintage watches. I wanted to start watch collecting on a small budget and then I found this brand, there are hundreds!! I have just ordered 4 from a well known auction site. I hope they turn out as nice as these. Thank you for your passion, all the way from England.

just make sure they are original...lots of fakes are there...

Dear Ghosh, thanks for making this video. I'm recently overwhelmed by the legacy of hmt legacy. Is there an automatic version available in HMT Janata watches, I'm looking to own one. I do know that it's mechanical but I do not know if that's automatic.

[@jope714]

It would be great to have a buyers guide to learn how to distinguish franken from legit. There are some obvius cues but there is also some contradictory information related to scripts, finishing, etc... It seems that the same model could vary depending on which factory it was manufactured

[@timeloupe]

Yes that's true....as there are many variants, it is a bit tough ...neither i have all the variants

[@nandurkarpranav]

Do the current models of Janata have atleast some resistance to water like a light rainfall and humidity?

I have 3 vintage HMT all of which have been fixed and I enjoy them. But the newer ones to be blunt are garbage. I haven't seen a single one without issues like misalignment, printing issues, smudges in the movement. Can't buy a watch on the nostalgia factor alone.

[@sandrosadhukhan]

Hello Mr. Ghosh I have received a Janata White dial from Bangalore factory, the white dial seemed to be scratched from inside. Now I received the watch back and it has India sticker put on in place of the scratched dial. Could you please tell where the word India is written on your new editions of Janata milky white dial? Mine is very oddly placed between the indices of 7, 6 and 5.

I'm looking to purchase the 'exact' watch as shown in the video... 'The Tale of HMT Watches and the HMT Janata' uploadad by 'Youre Terrific'. As it's not on the official HMT webpage then I'm reluctant to trust any info about these watches. As with the 1963 Seagull, it's possible that there are as many fakes as there are original HMTs, so I'm saving my money for a watch brand that I can trust.
