Depends on the rotation rates and periods ....
... when I used a winder more often than I do now, I had one that made one rotation every minute. this one was active for about ten hours a day, which makes 600 rotations in total. That was enough by far, I assume. On the Orbita website, there used to be a table, indicating the number of revolutions appropriate for various movements. There, the UN Marine Diver is indicated with 650 revolutions per day.

Thanks much.....
