I wouldn't worry about it too much, Ben. Sure you ideally shouldn't do it as it can cause damage, but I think most of us have done it at some point or other - I know I did once! If it works OK, then it's fine - just try not to do it again!
To reset the date correctly, I'd suggest winding the hands on well past the "danger zone" (i.e. past 3am) and then, once you are past that point, use the quick-set date to advance the date through to the date before today's date. Then pull the crown out again, and advance the hands through midnight (to get onto today's date) and then set the time accordingly.
Oh, and no your watch doesn't know what month it is. For that you need a watch with a much more complex perpetual or semi-perpectual calandar movement - such as the rather superb semi-perpetual Navitimer Olympus that I'm selling! Hint, hint!
(Had to get that plug in!)
Anyway, hope this helps.
