Dear all,
In addition to the previous post, does someone is able to share the correct number of crown turn to rewind fully the movement when totally stopped?
Thanks a lot for the information.
With my best regards
Anthony

Being a hand-winding automatic movement you can actually sit and wind the crown all day long - the mainspring will just slip when it’s fully wound. I don’t know the exact number of full turns of the crown needed to fully wind it but on my hand-winders about 20 full turns (so 40 natural finger and thumb movements) does the trick.

Dear Leffemonster, Thanks a lot for your reply. You right. As every automatic watch I could wind it all the day long and will never feel resistance. The correct information is needed to save that time and being sure in the same time to get the perfect accuracy of the movement throw the barillet spring distortion. So I keep in my mind 20 turns as you said. If anyonye gets more information please share! Cheers! Anthony

Do you need the full wind for testing it on a TimeGrapher? Because if you just want to start it, I wouldn't bother subduing it to fill wind, just give it a couple turns and put it on the wrist...

Hi all,
Actually your previous post providing the manual use of the movement 6R15 answers. It is written 20 times. Which is kind of fast by the way. It does exist different brand movement which requires 90 turns for a similar power reserve and complication.
Thanks a lot for the manual.
Cheers

Hi. Since this watch has a glass case-back, you can watch the ratchet wheel as you wind the crown. If memory serves, Seiko says it takes 8 full turns of the ratchet wheel to fully wind the movement.
