AP Diver (15720) Winding Question

Surprised this wasn't covered in the interactive user guide, but what is the proper way to wind the watch?

From what I understand, you wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise in position B (position when you unscrew the crown). I hear ticking but the movement does not seem to get going after 20+ turns. I can only seem to get the movement going by rotating the rotor.

Am I winding the watch wrong? Thanks for the help!

That doesn't sound right. You should take it in for a look from AP. Mine starts working well before 20 winds. You are winding correctly

does it start after 20 winds and a flick of the watch? it should start regardless after 20 winds imo.

Gotta give it a little shake to get it started, all my APs are like that.
