Sorry to rehash this conversation from last year, but I came across this page at Orbita's website. If you use a watch winder, it is a useful guide to getting everything dialed in correctly.

I have a Wolf triple winder and each of my automatic watches rotates bidirectionally, but the turns per day (TPD) is different for each one, depending on the movement and power reserve, etc. This website was incredibly helpful and takes the guessing out of using your winder properly.
Below is a stock photo of my Wolf winder:
