Rescued a few hard to find HMTs that were languishing in the HMT company warehouse, tagged as "slow moving" items:

The HMT Taurus:







This a nice Automatic, lumed hands, no day or date, shares the same stylish domed acrylic crystal of the Janata and the Pilot.

Also "rescued" these two Kaushals and a couple of Art Deco Janatas:





Cheers!

Congratulations... nice watches

Hari, now you're talking. Those Kaushal's look fantastic. Like the numbers on Taurus.

What is the dia of Kasushal?

The photos aren't appearing for me -- could be my computer, it's been acting up lately.

Hari, how ever did you get into the warehouse? Maybe you can find some of the more elusive models everyone's been looking for, like the rarely-seen white Pilot.

Personally, I may be ready to look at one of the HMT automatics. Would anyone have a recommendation on a model?

Thanks for the comments, Munno, the size is same as Sona small.

Mike, I did not actually enter the warehouse. I have been picking the brains of the staff of the Local HMT ......, they had a bit of unsold stock from before the quartz onslaught era. most of this stock was being stored at a warehouse. Every ...... does an annual" stock taking", this is basically an inventory list. Since I am an insistent customer, I was shown this list and I could pick the watches that I wanted from this. So after a few months of incessant hounding by me, the staff finally managed to recover these watches(Kaushal and Taurus) for me. No I have already looked, they do not have the White Pilot and any more Kaushals or Pinakis(another hard to find model).

I heartily recommend a HMT Rajat Automatic, even if it will be the only HMT auto that one would own. It is that good.

Congrats Hari....Taurus looks amazing.....had it a 4th date hand, it would have been a great deal!!.....These must be purchased from dadar showroom...am i right??

yes, thats correct. I was hoping that the Taurus that was buried in their warehouse would be the 4 hand version posted by Gigfy, but it was this one(again shown by gigfy to be an export variant).

BTW, they have dug out one Kailash(see AkshayB's posts) and a Vivek also. They also now have ample stocks of the White/Black and Gold Sona and the Kohinoor in all colors.

Good luck!
