Seiko SNZH
Dear Forum,
As earlier promised here are a few snapshots of the SNZH that I recommended (ok, ushered 
) my 16 year old to buy as his first watch.
The case is 41mm diameter and finished with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces. The bezel is unidirectional and a bit too easy to turn (I would not be comfortable using it for timing dives..)
The hands are very legible with a lot of lume. Very strong lume that is - at least for some time as it rather quickly fades when away from a light source. I particularly like the small lume on the seconds hand
The dial is at first glanze black but on closer inspection shows a very slight brownish tint and a very subtle sunray pattern. At certain angles (see below picture) the dial is quite reflective - but believe me, it is nothing that can hamper the legibility of the watch!
The date feature comes with Seiko's signature roman display of the day and a red square on Sundays as alternative to the traditional English three letter days. I enjoy this little feature for the variation.
All in all, a very cool package I think! It serves very nicely as a first watch for a young boy without me frantically wrapping his wrist in cottonpads whenever he goes skateboarding or whatever and I must admit that I myself tempted to get one.
How do you like it?

Did you for a moment doubt
Great initiation into Seiko
Haha, no this one is only about a year old...
I advise him to refuse to share it
Well, then I will advise him not to take advice from you ;-)
I suspect many of us were introduced to the world of watches . . .
Thanks Art. Seiko 5's are so much fun...
If someone would tell me in same sentence
Here's another combination for you: purpleheart cue . . .

Ahh - now that's an example to follow!!
