The crown is fluted and easy to use when\u00a0 setting the watch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/seiko_rose3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1107\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/seiko_rose3-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Powering the watch is a a reliable 7S36B, 23 jewel automatic.\u00a0 It is plainly finished, but is visible through the transparent caseback.\u00a0 The caseback is mineral crystal, which is just fine.\u00a0 No use making it sapphire where it can&#8217;t get scratched.\u00a0 The movement is a pure automatic, no hand wind or hacking.\u00a0 The watch, interestingly, is water resistant to 100 meters.\u00a0 I did not expect that level of water resistance for a dress watch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/seiko_rose4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1108\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/seiko_rose4-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have the band and buckle.\u00a0 The leather is SEIKO genuine calf and very pliable.\u00a0 It has a crocodile pattern embossed and is tanned to a patent leather shine.\u00a0 It ends in an easy to replace 20mm.\u00a0 The buckle is embossed with SEIKO and gold plated over stainless.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy this watch, it is modern, with a diameter of 39mm, but unmistakably a dress watch.\u00a0 It has no luminous marking, which would detract from what is supposed to be.\u00a0 It has the look and most of the features of a watch that costs 20X more.\u00a0 The sapphire crystal is a real bonus and puts this watch in the &#8216;SEIKO Superior&#8217; line, instead of a 5.\u00a0 The impressive water resistance adds confidence in wearing this watch daily, since rain will not bother it.\u00a0 I have worn this watch quite a bit over the last six months, and it still looks brand new.<\/p>\n<p>Features:<br \/>\nCase: 39 mm diameter, 12mm thick, Rose Gold over Stainless Steel.\u00a0 100M water resistance.<br \/>\nBack:\u00a0 Hardlex exhibition case back, screw down.<br \/>\nCrystal: Sapphire, flat, no anti-reflective coating.<br \/>\nMovement: SEIKO 7S36B, 23 jewel automatic, no hand wind or hacking.<br \/>\nComplications: Day and Date<br \/>\nOther:\u00a0 On calfskin strap, crock pattern.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;t=Watch%20Review%3A%20Seiko%20SNZH40%20Rose%20Gold%20Automatic&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F09%2Fseiko_rose1-257x300.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Watch%20Review%3A%20Seiko%20SNZH40%20Rose%20Gold%20Automatic\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Watch%20Review%3A%20Seiko%20SNZH40%20Rose%20Gold%20Automatic&#038;body=Hey%20check%20this%20out:%20http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"WordPress Social Media Feather\" href=\"http:\/\/synved.com\/wordpress-social-media-feather\/\" style=\"color:#444;text-decoration:none;font-size:8px;margin-left:5px;vertical-align:10px;white-space:nowrap\"><span>by <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;margin:0;padding:0;width:16px;height:16px\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"feather\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/icon.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seiko SNZH40 Rose Gold Automatic At long last, here is my review of my Seiko SNZH40 Rose Gold dress watch.\u00a0 I received this watch as a birthday gift (6 months ago!) but with health issues, I just have not found the time to do a proper review for this stunning \u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/?p=1101\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;
