Both could be considered bad practice under Unix, because it'd set
execute permissions on the files as well as the directory. This may not
be requested, or even strictly a good idea.

cd $dir
find . -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;

Will do the job nicely. And you don't need to chmod 700 ., because with
find . it'll find '.' in the list of files. So it'll already set that to
mode 700. You can verify this with -v.
