Seiko diver questions

I just received my first Seiko diver, a 200m automatic, model #7S26-0020 and have a couple questions.

First, am I correct in saying this watch cannot be hand wound? I've tried the different settings on the crown and none seem to wind the watch.

Second, I figured out the quick-set function for the date but for the day it seems I must rotate the hands through the days of the week until I reach the correct one. Once that is accomplished I use the quick-set for the date. Is this correct as well?

Third, my watch arrived with the rubber strap; is there a recommended dealer for the SS bracelet for this watch? If so, please email me the info.

Is there anything else I should know? As you can tell the watch, although brand new, arrived without any papers.

It seems a very solid watch and I must say I very much like the feel of the bezel as it rotates. The superluminova is fantastic and the watch glows like a torch after only brief exposure to sunlight.

I felt a watch collection wouldn't be complete without a Seiko automatic and I am very pleased so far with the purchase.

Answer:
The 7s26 does not hand wind when setting the date pull crown out to first position rotate forward sets the date, rotate back sets the day I like to set the date and date one day behind and pull crown to second position and rotate past 12am to the corect time this allows the watch to know wether its am or pm.

Answer:
Thank you very much for your help. I usually set my watches the same way, one day behind then adjust the time to the next day, AM or PM.
