Will it damage if we do this?

Let say If the new DSSD's 3135 caliber has totally stop (no wearing), and Now,we pull out the crown and then turn its minute hand (clock wise) for 100 turns, (every turn must passed the 12 o'clock for 100 turns by manually) Will this damage the unwinded caliber ? Just curious^^

Thanks for the answer. But i just wonder why u are so sure about it ? Can u explain more why it wont damage it?
The reason i do so is to check the date change from 1st to 31st if it is sitting right at the middle of the window... Bcuz i did read ppl complaim bout their date change not sitting at the "center" of the date window... Hahahah...

I'm confused! What does it matter if you do it to a fully wound or unwound watch? No damage either
way.

Got to ask why ask a question like this, are you going to wind the hands around the dial 100 times.If you are you must be the only one on this earth today that would want too.But I think you would do more damage to your fingers that the watch with possible repetitive strain disorder.
