Questions from a Reader re Caliber 12 (Silverstone)

The following is a message received from a reader, relating to his new Silverstone. I post this message, so that others can benefit from the answers and the discussion:

    I have a "new to me" Heuer Silvestone Fume Dial. . . . I am trying to learn the function of this watch:

    1. I know the operation of the two pushers on the right side of the watch, ie...top starts/stops second hand and bottom resets to zero.

    2. I was wondering the best way to wind these automatic watches AND

    3. When the watch is wound and ticking the two registers do not move, ie...what is the left register for and what is the right register for AND SHOULD THEY BE MOVING!!

    4. Also is there a "quick date" spot on the crown when you pull it out OR do you have to go all the way around until the desired date comes.

    I really appreciate your help and expertise, as usual!!!
