YOu would know about this??,, wouldnt you?

Hi everyone, I just got my first IWC top gun (split second 46 mm).
THere are few questions I would like to ask if you would not mind. I think People who are from this forum, most of them are full of experience and knowledges about watches. I will really appreciate if you can help out.

I have observed my watch today. I thought that the date and day would turn to a new day at 12:00 am. like Tue to Wed and 22nd to 23rd at 12:00 am. Instead, my watch turned to a new date at around 12:37am (Tue to Wed) and to a new day (22 to 23)around 12:02am.

Is that normal to a brand new top gun or any IWC?

I also accidently winded my watch in clockwise direction about 15 revolutions ( I believe the right way is counter clockwise to wind the watch). Actually the manual do not mention which direction to wind in the "winding position" section at all, and I did not know which way to. (actually my first time to wind a watch too). Could this winding mistake cause the date and day rotation problem if it was a problem. Did I damage the mechanism by winding the other way around?

Please Help, I am so confused if I should take the watch to check up at a service center.

million thanks for your kindness to answer my questions.
