Hey Ronin, I'm not an expert but when I wind my mechanical watches, I cranck them until the main spring is fully wounded, which meens up to the point where the crown wont turn anymore.  I don't think you can damage anything unless you really force it when you get to the end.  I also found my hand cankers to keep better time if wounded twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.  Just my experience with Unitas and Russian MOVT.

Hope it helps! hand6.gif 

If what I'm doing is wrong, I would like to know but  this is what Hans, my watch maker told me and I do have trust in his experience and never had any problems so far doing so.
