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.

[@timeloupe]

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

Beautiful watches... The domed shape of the crystal looks so good

[@anupmeshram3942]

Its time that we should talk about the accuracy of hmt watches. Hmt must consider the idea of developing inhouse movements.

Well ....I am only 24 years old and I m having a small but good collection of vintage original watches. I m wearing a hmt janata deluxe for the last 10 years...janata is one of my fav

[@jenishclimentj.u2604]

Nice Video. Love the Janata watch with the transparent caseback. I tried to buy it from hmt website but it was sold out moments before i try to buy one. I Still check hmt website every now and then to see if the watch is available.

[@jimutjayadev]

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.

[@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

[@krishnateja7728]

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.

Thank you sir for showing off your wonderful Janata collection. Like you said there are so many variations that its getting difficult ti identify real ones from thw fake ones. Can you give me any pointers to make that identification? Thank you

Best method is to post photos in groups for identification

[@eddiedevonrex2308]

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.
