Winding question regarding ref. 5024...

 

Hi Gentlemen,

How many full turns of the crown do you recommend for my 5024 Gondolo? I've gotten to 70 full turns of the cown and it doesn't stop. I don't want to go any further for fear of breaking the mainspring. I wind the watch everyday at approx. the same time and the watch is running as perfect as can be expected keeping excellent time. My other 5 manuals...Lange, JLC, Piaget(2) and AP take anywhere from 45 to 55 (approx.) full turns of the crown at which point the crown stops and I reverse it a half turn accordingly.

For my 5024 how many full turns of the crown will stop it? Not trying to set a world record here but I would think 70 should do it: ) Could it go to 100 full turns before the crown will stop??? Any insight would greatly be appreciated. With kindest regards.
