I don't believe there is a "stop point" per se. Usually once an automatic watch is fully wound, a clutch type mechanism/safeguard prevents overwinding without giving you an actual stopping sensation as in a manual wind watch. IE-the crown continues to wind but is disengaged from the spring barrel. My experience has been that most automatics with one spring barrel take anywhere between 35-65 winds to fully wind, depending on how fully unwound the watch spring was at the start. My manual Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant Edition, seen below, (2005 model) which I wind every morning, requires 25-30 winds before reaching its "stop point".
