To be honest ...
I do not not wind the Lange-1 to its maximum to prevent damage, I simply make sure that IF I need some medicine (smooth winding pleasure) I can get it; as a side effect I never can overwind it.
With the Lange-1 it is easy to see when you have (almost) wound the watch completely and you can anticipate the force with which you wind the watch depending on the position of the PR hand.
With the Dato I am much more carefull

Re: i had the same exact problem....
Thanks for all the feedback...I actually feel a little bit better after reading carsten's experience, so I know Alkis isn't tackling a unique problem. Hopefully it'll be the last time I'll have this issue. I guess I can follow Edwin's lead and not wind it...
