Re: Carrera Twin
In Response To: Re: Carrera Twin ()

hello mark. can you tell me what button.on which side of the watch set's the mode ? Ta

: It does unfortunately seem to be the case with a lot of these.

: Are you able to switch modes ok on the LCD using the pushers? Jarl
: was kind enough to find out a link to the relevant catalogue on
: OnTheDash when I first got my Twin, so I'll repeat the favour:

: http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Catalogs/1978_Catalog/?show=10.jpg

: I found it help me understand what the watch was showing me in its
: various modes more quickly than figuring it out for myself! In
: this case, though, we're using it more to test that the
: connection from your pushers to the module are ok.

: In chronograph mode, it's right that the two dots should flicker,
: it's all part of showing the timing but it should be a regular
: pulse rather than something random.

: The jumping around I don't like the sound of at all. To be honest,
: it doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong at all and the
: LCD module is playing up and maybe on the verge of giving up :(

: Still, worth trying the connections as above, we don't see very
: many of these at all. I was second highest bidder on a
: black-dial version on eBay before I won mine early in 2007 and
: Nic had one for a while, but I think those three are about all
: I've seen in four years or so of collecting. Which version is
: yours, would love to see some pics.

: Good luck with trying to get the LCD sorted but even if you can't,
: I think you have an interesting watch in the Twin.
