Just purchased an Omega Seamaster!!!

Thanks to the advice from the people on this forum and others, I have just purchased an Omega Seamaster Chronometer (Full Size). Many thanks it was a tough decision as this is my FIRST Swiss Watch, but thanks to the helpful people here it has made it very easy. Just a few questions about it though;

1). The bracelet sizing, should it be sized to allow your index finger to slip between the gap near the clasp and the wrist or should it be smaller?

2). Should the crown be screwed until its tight or just when it stops screwing in when using a slight twist?

3). What positions do you need to use to get the -4 +6 specifications?

4). Do you need to change the date if a month has 30 days?

I know simple questions but your help is muchly appreciated.

Oh yeah it feels great to own a Swiss Watch the quality is really there when you look at it.

Regards
