I really had to think about it, but this one:
Mine was also an HMT. I don’t wear it very often, but I love its design and history.
Congrats! Enjoy it in good health.
Wow, HMTs are a rare sight, congratulations!! Mechanical watches will take you down an exciting path :)
My first mechanical was the standard entry into Swiss watches for many others: Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic
This post has some amazing watches but also a disturbing amount of Left-Handed people.
Mine was an Ingersoll -circa 1980.
My first mechanical was an HMT too! It’s gonna sound really silly, but as an Indian who grew up in the States, I’m very Americanized, even by Indian-American standards so it was a very welcome addition to my personal heritage
Cheers! 🇮🇳🤝🇮🇳
Tissot Le Locle
Mine was the classic black pilot which broke and I never got it serviced, this white and blue one was the second.

You can't judge it from photos -- I am a lefty but wear my watch on my left wrist -- it just feels more natural that way.
A grayish Citizen for my prima comunione, followed by a Rolex Date for my first (actually only) wedding approximately 30 yrs later
The Indian market is so closed that the only way to get one is through a reseller on Ebay sadly. To buy from there at all you need a broker that doubles the cost.

Got lucky that my uncle lives in India…got it locally
Nice! Looks great! My first was a gift Seiko. First I bought was a Traska Commuter
Got this nearly 9years back … when HMT piolet was not known much in the market . Back when my collection was containing Japanese, Swiss and Chinese movements I wanted to have an Indian legacy.
My first Mechanical was Seiko
I'm wearing my first HMT today
Currently wearing it

Actually I don’t think so! It’s surprisingly common for Indians (even righties) to wear their watch on their right hand! My mom and sister do it and I’ve seen it in public
