Setting date on unwound 3235 movement

Hi all, quick question.
After not wearing my (stopped) sub with the 3235 movement for a while, I went ahead and unscrewed the crown, set the time to 6am, and after that set the date.
At this time I hadn’t wound the watch yet. What was odd to me is that while turning the crown to set the date, the clicks while flipping through the date were more pronounced, and the crown resistance was higher/rougher.
I then wound the watch about 40 turns to see if the crown action while changing the date would return back to normal -which it luckily did.
May I have caused any damage by setting the date on the unwound movement?
Have you guys done this before?
Edit: Wearing the watch again since yesterday after this incident. Seems to be running fine. The date also changed over night…
