skx007k2 vs snzf17k1 (sea urchin)

[WesleyShef]

Looking at buying one of the above watches. Want an everyday, good to great quality watch. Don't want something 38-40mm, looking for something bigger but not too big (perhaps in the 40-43mm range)
Bracelet quality and design are important. Not sure of the price difference either. Any recommendations?

Have you seen the Eco-Drive Duo on eBay right now. It is a rare one and within the size that you are looking for.

Hope this helps!

Nice watch. Sort of like the color contrast of the two Seikos.

I have the sea urchin (wearing it right now!) and I love it. It's gorgeous, tough, keeps excellent time, and the see-thru caseback is awesome and even wows some non WIS'!!

I have the Seaurchin in PVD (SNZF21K1), wearing it now and it is magnific. I'm completely all right with Stiggy Palgrave. Each time that I see the steel color one (SNZF17) I love it. Maybe I will buy it too.

SKX007 is a heavy model, bigger and higher. A real Divers watch. A good model, but vintage aspect. I have a Monster instead, and for my need of a vintage, I have just bought a Turtle from 70s to restorate. I will publish pictures to present it in society.

Good luck with your decission, ...

If you want a real divers, make it 007 with all the features like screw down crown and 200m. SNZ is not a real diver but I really love the Sumo hands style of the SNZ.

About size. What are the actual sizes of the two watches. Info varies. Also, someone mentioned height, is there a significant difference. I won't be diving but love the look. Wrist is 6.75". Need some advice. Thanks

It might be worth noting that there is a midsized version of the SNZF17K1, which is the SNZF29K1. The SNZF29K1 has a diameter of about 38mm, and the SNZF171K1 has a diameter of about 40mm.

I have a 6.75" wrist as well, and I sold my SNZF29K1 because I felt it was a bit too small, and I purchased a SNZF17K1 as a replacement, which ironically seems a bit too big.

I think the reason why the SNZF29K1 feels small is that it has a very thick rotating bezel ring, and so the actual glass watch face is small in comparison. It's all a question of proportions.
