I know the answer is probably rtfm but how much should I be winding my moonwatch? I usually give it fifty or so ‘winds’ but I doubt they’re full rotations. Presumably if you wind more than actually required every day at some point you hit the limit?

A Moonwatch is easy to wind fully. You can feel quite clearly when it’s fully wound, you hit the resistance. Just don’t be ham fisted and it’ll be fine. It’s probably not much more than what you’re already winding. Ease up to it and you’ll see how it feels.

These are valuable information, as it’s one of those thing I feel “should I know about this” or not knowing whether each movement is different, Vostok for instance will tell you when it’s fully wound whether some are so subtle you barely can feel any difference.
