Now, in order to make sure that that keeps water out effectively, you're going to turn that crown backwards to unscrew it. Now you notice that there's a small gap. It's a little bit difficult to see here, but there's a small gap. You push on that crown. It's got a little bit of a springiness, just the slightest amount. That means it's in the winding position now as all the other watches in its category, and you're going to wind it towards the 12th - you're going to do this a good solid 50 times. When you do that, you're going to completely wind this watch. Now it's an automatic so it is going to continue to keep winding as long as it's on your wrist and you're active. If you set it down overnight, eight to 10 hours a night, you are going to continue to keep running into the power's there every two weeks or so.

You'd want to give it about 35 winds no matter how much you wear it, just to make sure it's fully wound. Here's another important point, this watch, you can set the date anytime because it has a date that's attached to the hour hand. So you can actually pull this, pull this crown out, one click, one click, and then you can move that hour hand backwards and forwards across the 12 and then you notice that the hour, I'm sorry, the date changes along with the hour hand change. So it's the 18th now it's going to be the 17th now you can run this forward and now it's the 18th the 19th and every time you pass the 12 at midnight that date flips. So you can set the date quickly in the hour hand quickly without having to move the entire movement. Now if you want to set the minutes, you simply pull this out, one more click that's going to move both the minute hand and the hour hand.

Always wind your crown down to make sure you keep the water out!

Thank you my friend. I almost purchased a new automatic winder as I'm new to this.

This is my next watch purchase. As soon as my IWC Pilot Chronograph sells at the Skinner auction ;)

The 39.5mm Planet Ocean has the 8800 movement, for anyone wondering, so quickset date, instead of the hour hand movement.

So with the Planet Ocean, start with 50 winds. How long is the charge to last? If it's not used that day, how much should I give it? I would just expect the auto to be always max charge so good to know every 2 weeks.
