Does Anyone Put Their Vintage Watches on a Winder?

I've used an orbita watch winder in the past for several modern day watches I've owned (PAMs, Rolex and B & R) and currently have my Hulk Sub on the winder at 650 turns per day turning both clockwise & counterclockwise per the Orbita site's recommendations for Rolex. Do any of you put your vintage watches on a winder? I just recently acquired a 18038 Day Date and I am wondering if putting this on a winder could damage/overwork the movement? Seeing that this watch will not be a daily wearer, I'd prefer to keep it wound, but not at the chance of ruining it. I came home today to see the Day and Date wheel on my 18038 acting up and was curious if the winder may have caused this. What I mean by acting up is that Wednesday wasnt entirely visible in the day slot and the 9 in the date wheel looked as if it was ready to change as the top part was just a white portion of the date wheel. I have attached a pic (excuse the crappy quality but you can see what I'm referring to)
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
