OneLove: - There's several community and company pages out there that have databases, like the one GeneSh has pointed out. Other examples: http://www.spin-r.com/shop/index.php/watch-winding http://www.deluxewatchbox.com/DateBase.aspx I generally check several sites to make sure they're giving consistent numbers, then start with that and see how it goes. If you can't find your particular model, recommend starting at lowest setting (600 rotations, uni-directional) then increment up if you find it's running out on the winder. It's best not to 'overwind' if possible. While it isn't really possible to 'overwind' most modern automatics by design, it's best not to keep them in a 'fully wound' state and constantly engaging the clutch or other mainspring limiting mechanism in the watch. There's a whole lot of very helpful literature on a lot of the community forums and sites if you do a bit of Googling (although it's actually very hard to get a clear answer and remains a matter of much debate as to what the 'best' way is to store an automatic watch). I'm not aware of any automatic watches with uni-directional winding that will 'unwind' if rotated in the wrong direction - they just won't wind / charge the reserve.
Good luck! (I bought one of the Wolf Roadsters a few months back. While it was expensive, I absolutely don't regret it - it's gorgeous and love watching it when I come home from work on my shelf. Elicits a lot of comments from guests as well!)
