A full turn is a full rotation, i.e. upright B to upright B.



Actually, an experience from a member here suggests that may not be enough. That was always my assumption, although I always do 40 winding motions. My assumption was that a winding motion would be approximately the same as a rotation, but (at least for me) it's actually about 1 1/2. A member here who did 40 crown rotations didn't get the full reserve.


My experience is actually different than that. When I make a turn, its about 3/4 or so. It usually takes 50-60 turns for me to get a full wind.

is it true that you should do 40 winds per month when wearing it?

or in other words, once a month, wind it up 40 times


Not necessary, with daily wear it should stay wound.



would it hurt to wind it once a month 20-40 times? (to make sure the power reserve stays high
