50 full turns?
Damn....i would assume those with 3-5days PR or higher to require that.
Bro, Pam 233 easily 150-200 turn to full wind the watch if my memory didn't fail me...

It does not matter as there is a slipping clutch mechanism that prevents an automatic watch from being over winding.

but wind o not the watch still running. i try this morning, winding an automatic watch and manual winding watch, feeling is totally different. don like the winding feeling

The feeling is different as the watch may be fully 'charged' when you wind it. Additionally, the spring resistance you feel in a manual wind watch is 'stronger' compared to an automatic watch. If the opposite is true, the small rotor will have a hard time trying to wind up the watch.
