That's more like it! Lesson learned is: a full wind takes a lot more turns of the crown than you'd expect, I guess because you only turn it about half way each time, or maybe 3/4. I think I wound it about 80 turns, so maybe 40-60 full turns? Thing about automatics is it doesn't stop once fully wound.
Edit: Going to do this for the PAM as well. Fully wound at 4pm June 4. Let's see how far this fake Unitas can go! 
Genuine 6497-2 goes 53 hours |
Fake Unitas stopped running at 1:45am June 7. That is 57 hours and 45 minutes
Decent! Keeps good time too
Takes about 125 twists to get it fully wound
Also new strap alert! The rubber looks great but NATO is definitely more comfortable in the humidity. Might prefer lower profile hardware though I'm not sure
