Ok, looking for some advice if I may kindly ask?

Whilst I have had (and retain) many watches I have never had anything particularly complicated. I wear all my watches in my collection, so they always spend a couple of days on my wrist (maximum) and then go back in the safe - to be wound again when I next reach for that watch.

I now have an Annual Calendar/Moonphase Patek arriving: should I be looking to keep such a complication on a watch winder? Or just enjoy setting it whenever I reach for it? If you ask the AD they of course want to sell you a watch winder, so would be grateful for some impartial advice. My worry would be that the regular re-setting of the AC/Moonphase could damage the movement? Or not?
