How many crown turns before the date moves on a Sub?

Hi all, just curious, on my Sub 16613, after unscrewing the crown and putting it in the 2nd position, how many turns of the crown before the date wheel starts to move?

They are all different, between 1-20 turns.

Are you referring to the quick set date function? It should change after 1-2 turns of the crown, it may vary a little, but 20 turns seems a bit much.

I was thinking the same thing. Shouldn't the 16613 have a quick set movement?

Yes, quick set.
Not 20 but about 8-10 for me.

Yes, the 16613 has the quick set movement, and once the date starts moving it's quick, just to get it going takes 8-10 turns.

Sorry, after the crown is unscrewed and placed in the 2nd position, how many clockwise turns of the crown, not the hands, before the date should start to move, sorry if I was unclear.

Don't be, you were perfectly clear, it was I that misread it.
