gonna send it back to the TD next week. Anyone else run into the same problem?

Hi everyone! I received my Noob GMT (3187 movement) from a TD a couple days ago. The watch itself looks and runs great, but the power reserve is HORRIBLE. I can sit there for 20 minutes handwinding it, and 5 minutes later it stops. Anyone else run into the same issue? Should I contact my TD? Cheers, Vincent

Hi guys! So I'm a huge fan of the 6241. Probably my one and only grail watch. I have the 6241 with the venus 75 from Trusty and it's been working great so far. All I've done to it mod wise, is a new bakelite bezel (mark 1 style), and a genuine 7835 bracelet with 557 endlinks. After doing some more research, the 6 o'clock subdial and the case shape (the lugs in particular) is starting to bother me... that the hour counter isn't working is fine since, well let's be real, when is anyone really going to count hours on their chronograph lol. I saw in another thread a guy that modded the cartel to accept a ingod44 dial with the "correct" subdial spacings. Now on to my actual question: Is it worth it sourcing a dial and modding mine? Or should I just ball up and invest in a new case (phong?) and a new movement (which movement?)? Or what about the reps from DW? Would really appreciate some help and input!
