Winder settings for Tudor Chrono

Would anyone know of the best winder settings for a mid 80's Tudor 9420 chrono. I believe that the movement is somewhat similar to the Daytona of this time.

Thanks.

If your Tudor chrono is an automatic it should be the venerable Valjoux 7750. The rotor only winds in one direction [which direction?]. Knowing nothing about winders I will be no help at all, sorry. The only winder I use is my wrist.
Hope winder experts will be along soon to help.
Got a pic of your Tudor?
Good luck,

Hi Dan

Yes that sounds familiar. The watch is an automatic.

The watch is being serviced and I just got the call that it is ready for pickup. I'm very keen to get it back having discovered on TRF that the watch is a monte carlo.

I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow.

Good for you. Can't wait wait to see that beauty. And a Monte Carlo no less. Still waiting for the return of my 79170 Big Block from my watchmaker. Hopefully next week.

Ooh, Monte Carlo - pictures! We want pictures!

I've got my 7750-based 79170 on about 650 per hour (I think). Seems to work fine.
