What watch are you wearing today???

Got myself a different strap on my galaxy watch 4, now it's perfect. I hate that rubbery looking thing which it came with. Meanwhile my fossil gen5 came with amazing quality leatherish strap.

There is/ was a special HMT project 'Varchas' organized by a Redditor. Old folks from TE might remember how @gmano organized the legendary HMT Pilot White Dial/ Blue Hands group order on TE (leading to a lot of pissed-off people on the WatchUSeek forums, IIRC :p). I don't think this project would reach those epic heights, but it seemed interesting, and I haven't bought a new watch in ages, so I signed up for it and paid for the watch yesterday.

There are 2 models (I took only 1). According to the organizer, shipping and delivery is expected in the next 2 weeks.

Note: All images are not mine, posting the sample images provided by the person responsible for the project.

PS. I still have 2 of the HMT Pilots from the Group Order. I think I paid around 1500 each for them. They're going for 20-30k now as per a quick Google search.

Blue hand Pilots are Holy grail among HMTs. HMT did re release a terrible version with printed dials and mismatched hands a few years ago which has caused the OG version to appreciate more.
 
Thought to showcase, My daily beater is Invicta.
Occasional wearing Seiko GMT SSK003

Below are in pipeline to buy, Waiting for someone to go to USA ...
1. Seiko Alpinist (Green or Glacier dial) both looks good
2. King Seiko (Garyu Bai) .. इसे लेने के लिये हिम्मत जुटानी है

EDIT: Guys, please do your due diligence before buying this. Couple of threads discussing the watches here and here. I have not ordered yet, for what it's worth.

Came across this Indian microbrand on reddit. Watches look stunning in pictures. Pre-orders are live, shipping expected in August.

I got my Varchas a few days ago.

Attached message was posted in one of the discussion groups by the organizers. As expected, there was a backlash from most of the community, but it seems HMT doesn't care about a watch being limited edition or not. So if someone wants to grab it, this is the time.

Tagging those who had PM'ed me about the watch. @asingh @Arjan @Rednekol
