This is a typical mass drop rip off. Just go on jomashop and get them for 20-30 cheaper.

Good points, while the business model obviously works for them. Perhaps many folks see this as a fun activity, watch bargain hunting. Some believe it’s not worth a few dollars buying a watch you can’t return, but not all think that way.
You get more real bargains at higher price points (above $1K), but then you have to accept that there is a good reason why that given watch is on such large extra discount.

Well I'm with you on the disappointment part.
The person in charge of Watches isn't actually a watch person per se (frankly, not fucking at all) but there have been good drops in the past, and I believe there will be in the future--one must endeavor to keep the faith!

You’d have to be absolutely sold on this particular style combined with this specific size to choose this over the dozen or so similarly priced Seiko models that have the upgraded 4R series movements that hack and handwond over this model with the non hacking, non handwinding 7s series.

WatchyoutalkingaboutAbsolutely true!
On the other hand, if you do like them, you should probably buy them now--before Seiko decides to update them with 4R series movements and then releases them as new, Limited Edition models, and chargs you two-thousand eight hundred dollars a piece for them!

Why is the SNZF17 $40 less expensive? Besides color, what are the technical differences, if any? (this is to gift to a young man as his first automatic watch).

Ah you may be right! I had not see that this cheaper one did not have a J.... I don't think there is a huge difference, if any.

This is one of the many Drop listings where you cannot clearly discern what you are getting. Granted, it is not a lot of money but I still want to know exactly what I am getting, 40mm or 41mm? Other differences between the models? There are two that look almost identical but one is cheaper than the other, why?

marndt93First thing that comes to mind that can handle both actual diving and your price point in an automatic is the Orient Triton. It's JIS certified (among many things, this also means that the bracelet isn't junk, which is good if you're used to buying Seikos), comes with sapphire, applied indices, 4 o'clock crown, pretty good lume, and the same in-house movement used in their $2,000 pro saturation diver. Long Island has them for $399, last I checked. I had the black one for a while, but sold it (too big for me - I'm 6.5", so I don't like to stray above 40mm).
The Ray II is good, but if you've had a Triton, you'll realize they're not all that great.
If you can find a Seiko MM300, you can't go wrong. Very nice. Might be a bit above your price point, but not by much.
If you're willing to wait, the SBDC063 will probably come down in price once it has fully penetrated the market (released last year).
Citizen Pro Master Sea is a good lineup. Not many automatics, but there are some. If they made a few more models at or below 40mm I would own one.
If you're open to quartz (which gets a bad rap, but for an active/sport/diver watch, sort of a no-brainer), then the options in your price point truly open up. I had the SNE435P (special PADI) edition for over a year and not only was it a looker, but near bullet-proof, and you can actually dive in it. Solar powered too, so no need to crack the case open for like 14 years. Could retain power cell life if left in the dark for ten whole months. In addition, Citizen's quartz movements are the world leader outside of maybe Casio (for sports watches).
If you're a skinny dude, and you like a snug fit, you might find yourself going way above your price point for a properly fitting dive watch. In fact, after wearing divers about half the time since 1981, I recently gave them up completely. They just don't fit me, and there are sporty options out there that do. So keep that in mind. And it wasn't until I put on a watch that fit my wrist so well that it looked like it was virtually poured onto my wrist did I leave the diver category altogether. I sold all my divers (and chronos, since they are nearly always > 40mm too), and focus now only on watches that fit well, and I'm having a lot of fun. So, for "sporty" endeavors, I have field watches, and proper "sports" watches.

Only reason I can think of to get this is if you really love the old sumo style hands, since you can Seiko srp models with the 4R movement with hacking and handwinding.
