Carrera from forum member

[olworthers]

I bought a Carrera from fellow forum member manolo last week.

Lovely watch as you can see from the photos:

All chrono's reset to zero and watch is in great condition. The only issue I do have is that I wore it for a full day yesterday and it gained +5 minutes over the course of the day....

I've spoken to manolo who has been very helpful and assured me that it was running fine when he checked it the week before posting.

It was superbly wrapped and the whole deal has been fine, but obviously the movement has an issue.

Any ideas/comments/help would be greatly appreciated!

Better fast than slow...give it a few days, it may correct itself to your satisfaction.

Ah, ok, I had wondered if it just needed a bit of time to settle down. I'll try that and report back. Why better fast than slow by the way...?
Thank you!

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Slow means it's gonna die soon enough...Always better a bit fast.
