Next purchase, I am eyeing the HMT Jubilee for the clean white look.
VikramVicky84, your HMT Pilot looks nice too and sent you a PM.

Go for it, I have one each of Janata, Pilot and Jubilee

You know I was never into these sort of watches at the time they were introduced. But I might get me one of these for old time sake.

On the fairs in Europe you could win this with little cranes. Does anybody know what I am referring to?

I precisely know what you are talking about, it was one of the first machines setup in the name of gaming arcades in india as well. Never have I ever been able to lift any bunny or anything for that matter from that crane. 😅

Re: Which watch do you own?

Where do you guys get your NATO straps from? I have an old Casio Forester for which I couldn't find the original strap anymore. I'm thinking of getting it working again and fitting a NATO strap. The lug width for this one is 18mm.

I bought it from https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/
It takes around 2 weeks to get the straps.

Next purchase, I am eyeing the HMT Jubilee for the clean white look.
VikramVicky84, your HMT Pilot looks nice too and sent you a PM.

P.S. Folks in Mumbai, any reliable watchmaker who would service Omega, Rado, Rolex and now the Seiko ( Service for Automatics and Battery change for Quartz). Earlier, Time watches at Dadar TT was my go-to shop for regular maintenance and service, but they shut down a year or so ago.
@riteshritesh, For Omega Marcks and Co. next to New India Assurance Fort, Opposite Standard Chartered Bank, I have used their services for the past 20 years (been there twice, in a gap of 10 years each). I am happy with their Services.

With regards to HMT's, I will PM you my number, if you want to talk about watches, I am based out of Mumbai - Mulund, have a decent collection of HMT Automatics and Mechanical watches.

I can also point you to two trusted suppliers, one in Bandra, a bit expensive as he is also a hobbyist and the other in Andheri (shop in Fort DN Road area), who is also good, but talks a lot.

Got this vintage F-91W from Amazon. Brings back memories from my school days.
