Agreed......doing this means that the gears that drive the hands clockwise are all in contact on the correct side of the teeth, so essentially as soon as you push in the crown the 'drive' starts, I have noticed on newer movements or ones which have just been serviced you have to take the minute hand back another half a second/minute marker then it kind of eases forward when you let go of the crown prior to pushing it in and starting the watch again.......just something I noticed....but yes, back it up to where you want it, don't take it forward....
