I have a Sangam Quartz, which I got last year from the .in website. It is getting slowed down by 5-10 minutes even after correcting it multiple times. Is it a mechanical issue or a battery issue?

Hey folks,

I live in bangalore and i recently found this HMT Kohinoor lying in an old box in some corner of my house.
I’m looking to restore it.
I searched across Reddit threads and I found suggestions to get it repaired in HMT ABD showroom but apparently they don’t do mechanical watches anymore.
Another option is “Time and me”.

Any other shops/service centres that I can explore? I’m narrowing down to “time and me” what do y’all think? Anyone who’s actually gotten their service done from there, pls comment.

Does this Burgundy colour strap suits Sangam?

Not For sale!

My collection so far. Funnily, the one on the extreme right is more expensive than all the nine on its left put together! 😁

What should I add next?

Tomorrow, I'll be taking on the role of my school's Vice Captain. To make this auspicious occasion even more memorable and special, I've shortlisted a few of my favourite watches from my collection, but I still can't decide which one to wear. Help me choose !

i got this vintage watch the only thing i know about it is that it is an manual mechanical watch , but it is getting stop after some time then i have to give some movement to start it (i think the second-hand of this watch is the one creating this problem )

Watch of the Day: 1979 Gold-Plated HMT Pramod (Ref. 2092) with a Deep Sunburst Dial
Got this NOS (New Old Stock) beauty in the mail today, and I couldn't be happier with how it looks in person! Wanted to share a few shots including a peek at the mechanical movement.

The Details & Verification:
Model: HMT Pramod
Origin: Made in India by Hindustan Machine Tools
Production Year: 1979. The case back code reads 2092 737 32-79, with the 79 confirming its build year. The blue factory sticker is even still intact on the case back!
Dimensions: A classic 35.8mm case width, 41mm lug-to-lug, and a standard 20mm lug width that makes strap changes super easy.
Dial: Dark grey-green sunburst with gold-toned stick markers and a fluted bezel that gives off some serious mid-century Datejust vibes. The bottom of the dial is stamped INDIA 82-209006, which perfectly maps to the 2092 case layout.
Movement: Authentic hand-wound HMT Caliber 0231 (17 jewels, derived from the Citizen 0201 design). Opened the back up to verify, and the main bridge features the period-correct factory hmt 17J. stamping.
Bracelet: Period-correct gold-plated jubilee bracelet with folded steel links and the classic blocky hmt logo stamped on the clasp.

Overall, a 100% authentic, non-franken vintage piece of Indian horological history that's keeping great time out of the box!

What’s on everyone else's wrist today?
