GMT Charge

What would be considered a full charge on a new GMT IIc (how mant turns)? How long will a full charge last without moving the watch?

40-60 full turns of the crown and should have a power reserve of about 48 hours

When you say turns, do you mean complete revolution? Is it possible to winded the watch too tight and do damage or is there a mechancal stop in place before you damage the watch?

You can not overwind a modern Rolex!!
There is a mechanism (clutch design), that prevents this.

40 to 50 finger turns is appropriate for a full wind!
