Re: how much winding is needed? *LINK* *PIC*

In Response To: how much winding is needed? ()

Are you sure you are winding it in the RIGHT direction? Only one of the two directions you can turn the crown in actually winds the watch.

It certainly should not take 50 turns just to get the watch to start moving from a dead stop. 20-30 done properly should equal a full windup.
