Watch Wearing Wednesday: Ghostface meets Frankenwatch Oris!

With Halloween right around the corner, me and my Frankenwatch vintage Oris had a close encounter with Ghostface!

Ghostface from the movie Scream and my vintage refurbished Oris

They warned me! Beware of Etsy watches from India! But, no, I didn't listen. I had to go down that corridor alone! I'm actually glad I did. I've found my refurbished Oris watch from India to be lots of fun and I enjoy wearing it. For more on this watch, read my Wristwatch Review: Vintage Oris Men's Manual Wind Watch from India. This little monster may only have an Oris movement, but it was authentically put together in a workshop somewhere in India and it's pretty cool!

Watch Wearing Wednesday: Refurbished HMT Pilot

Lately, I've been enjoying my new-to-me HMT Pilot watch. It's a refurbished model from India (via Etsy) with an original case and movement, but everything else has been replaced. That means a new dial, new hands, new crystal, and new strap. I replaced the inexpensive leather strap that was provided by the Etsy seller (vintagewatchzone) with a nicer and larger silicone strap from Walmart.

This HMT is a small but colorful watch. It runs well and keeps decent time. It might be a bit fast +30 seconds or +60 seconds per day. This is my third watch from this Indian vendor and I've been very pleased so far.  You can read about my first watch from India -- a refurbished Oris here. At first I was uncertain, but I actually enjoy these watches.
