MG 116400 crown winding

Dear MG owners,
would you please try, how many turns it takes to lock (or better unlock) the crown of your watch.
The best way to find this out is to unscrew the crown until it comes out.

In comparison to my other sport models the MG crown takes the fewest turns though it has a quite long stem.
Does anyone know the reason?

Best regards
Peter

I will give it a go later... But does twin-lock operates differently to the trip-lock crowns?

(can't remember which type of crown a 116400 has...)

116400 has twin-lock.

Today i checked the winding (complete 360 degree turns) of all my crowns and the result was quite surprising:

16570 (twin-lock) ~2.25 turns
116400 (twin-lock) ~1.5 turns
16610 (trip-lock) ~1.75 turns
116710 (trip-lock) ~ 2 turns
