vincentjm Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Btw, It might not be a good idea to keep winding it. The winding parts in Asian etaclone movements are not known to be overly rugged...or in swiss Etas either for that matter. When you hand wind Eta 2824/36/46 etc type movements, the reverser wheels are turning faster than normal and can cause more wear than usual. The little 'nub' cast on the movement plate that the crown wheel turns on can also wear if not properly lubricated. There is also some wear on the plate where the stem passes through when hand winding if not lubricated properly but it is usually not much of a problem. It's probably an easy fix though.
