    Has anyone tried replacing the crown on their pilots?after being spoilt by butter smooth movements in my other watches and their ample crowns,the pilot seems impossible to wind nowadays. The crown on the pilot is visibly smaller than similar crowns by atleast a millimeter and the difference is...

    Its run by babus. I have had a spat with a senior bureaucrat there once. Why is it that models like the nasl 03 and adsl 03 are oos even though it is possible for hmt to make them? Every one agrees they are among the best watches made,even hmt. There was this hmt meet at bangalore, where...

    That is hmt's equivalent of the yeti. If you ever find one, it will be selling in dollars, if you find it that is. I know for sure that there is this place which has almost every watch hmt ever made -but none of them are for sale

    HMT discount sale in HMT Showrooms

    I used to hate my white and gold sona till it grew on me and now it gets more wrist time than any watch. Same with a rajat supreme that belongs to my elder brother. I like it over my nasl now.

    Imo,the nachiket automatic is better than the ranjit or Vishwa. It felt solid to hold, very well made and much. more handsome than what I can make of the Vishwa from pictures.

    So, 1.i wind my watches, till they stop,and as tension builds i try not to force it.fair enough? 2.my pilot only gives 27 hours, while I get 40 or more from my other watches. Any way it can be "adjusted " to deliver more? 3.the pilot gains about 5 minutes , another gains about 10 minutes in a...

    Okay, so since everyone is rocking hmt 0231 n watches, how often to wind?how much?and how much is too much? Same questions about automatics-only the "feel " of the winding is different.i guess they have a clutch to avoid over winding, but it can still be damaged.

    Will it be possible for someone to post the current catalogue online? I couldn't find it,or atleast not the latest one. A custom design for me would be a automatic, with a display back and some decent lume. I was debating whether to buy a seiko or stick with a hmt adsl/nasl
