Tudor Black Bay 58- winding question
Seems to take minutes to wind and perhaps over a hundred turns.
Is that normal? Thanks |

I've never had a Tudor Black Bay, but that sounds excessive. May need to send it in for service.

Try like 35 turns then give it a tap on the side of the case with your finger
I’ve read on this forum several times that sometimes watches need a tap to get going A tap or a shake |

I shake mine a few times first, and then give it about 20 turns, and that seems to do it for me. (knock on wood):)

You must be holding it extremely still when you wind. Sometimes my watches start after a few winds and a gentle shift to overcome the endshake

Generally you can't overwind Automatics .. the spring will slip to prevent it ... so you can wind 1000 times if you want to wear it out. Wind it 40 times and you should be good to go ... stay active and never wind it again. Some of my automatics will start moving just by taking it out of the watch box before I wind at all ... so not sure if you are saying it never starts or if you never hit a stop during winding. Only Manual watches stop when fully wound .. not automatics.

I have the 58 and mine normally starts after 5-10 turns of the crown. I think it is fully wound by 30-40 winds so 100 is definitely not required. Has it had other issues of stopping or gaining/losing more than it should?
