15 winds of the crown is not sufficient; it will take around 40 winds to fully wind your watch, and as correctly mentioned, you cannot overwind it - it will not stop. If you are delicately turning the crown but afraid because you feel the back-pressure of the winding spring, you need more experience.

Your watch will not wind backwards. That is just a freewheeling ratchet mechanism and does nothing, and it is decidedly different than the winding direction.

After reading all the comments, I got it. Your info is valuable, Tools. Appreciated.

Turning the crown opposite of winding direction makes a sound and I thought that was a winding sound, but actually not. And I didn't have experience about movements, so I didn't force it when I felt it was a little hard when I tried to wind it. That was all my fault.

Let’s see…. In SearChart (The man’s name is Bas) avatar it says the words: “Tech Expert” He is a certified Rolex watchmaker, probably the best in Europe and recognized on TRF as the go-to-it man for tech questions, and your avatar has… A Dolphin. Miami Dolphins bashing aside, I actually root for that team, by all means, please grace us with your qualifications as a watchmaker, prove Bas incorrect and we will start looking to you for tech answers from now on.
