Sorry, as I said right at the beginning of this post
I was a member of the forum many many moons ago, but fell out of love with watches, and I think there was some sort of forum reset where I lost all my post count. Not a massive problem until I started to fall back in love with watches and fancied a new purchase.
Definitely fake. The seller is also selling Fortis and Oris "Mickey Mouse" (both figuratively, and literally) watches with the same dial, albeit different names on them?!

Search for HMT on ebay, and you will see the same case used on the faked indian HMT watches.
