A question about manual trimming.

Years ago, I had a jumpseat ride in a 732 and more recently, I had some time in an NG Level D simulator, so I’m aware how quickly (and noisily) the trim wheels rotate, when trimming is done via the control column switch.

If the stabilizer is at the maximum nose-down position, how many turns and how much time does it take to manually restore the stabilizer to a typical position for trimmed cruise flight?
