Chanel J12 Watch

[Guessgirl96]

I'm trying to save up for a chanel J12, but have no idea what size I want. What is the most common size? does anyone have any not so close up pictures of the different sizes so I could kind of see the overall proportion? Can anyone post the prices of the different sizes as well, the plain ones without any diamonds? I think I'll first just save up for a watch and then get a diamond bezell later on

Thanks a ton for any info!

Im sure pictures wont do it justice, but you will totally get the right idea.
My grandmother actually has the black one, i was with her when she bought it on Worth Ave in Palm Beach.

I just think it will be special if i buy it in Paris, as a token of the trip. I better start saving now, I have such a list ofbags that I want also. ugh i having a spending addiction.

 

[Guessgirl96]

I am very very tempted by the J12 watch and I'm not usually a watch person. I'm much more of a bag person but I think now might be the time to branch out, however were I to purchase the J12 it would mean putting some of my other purchases on the backburner for the time being. I don't want to go crazy particularly not this early in the year. I was going to get a 2.55 re issue and a pair of the new Chanel sunglasses, should I put those on the backburner for a time (say a couple of months or so, maybe wait until Spring / Summer or so) and get the J12?

Girls who have it, do you feel its a good investment or is it more of a trendier watch? From the looks of it, I think its very classic but perhaps something from Cartier would be more practical. I could probably use a new watch whereas the bag and shades are more fun purchases. I should probably get the watch...eep I'm already talking myself into it! Do you guys wear it as your main watch or do you have others in rotation? Thank you in advance for helping a poor indecisive girl out.

I have both a white J12 and the reissue in grey. If you are very very serious about getting a reissue then get the reissue first since it is limited edition, who knows when will they stop making the bag.

As for the J12, eventually you should get it, it is a classic yet fun & unique watch. It is actually quite practical too although I don't wear it everyday, it is more like my weekend watch (as a public employee working for govenment I think my J12 might look a little bit flashy, don't wanna get that kinda of attention at work). If you are not really into the reissue bag then get the J12, unless you have the budget for both at the same time! As for the sunglasses, I am not too into sunglasses although chanel sunglasses are cool too.

Thanks hikarupanda! I think I am going to try and find a way to get both. Worse comes to worse I think I want the watch more. I'll leave my options open though and try on both when I go. I am kind of half and half on the 2.55 I really like it but I don't think I'll hurt too much if I don't get it. The J12 has really caught my eye and I think I may just have to have it. its so beautiful!

Now I just have to choose between white or black!

I picked white coz white is more unique and cute, and it looks great with both summery clothes as well as winter clothes (I love the black and white contrast). Plus, I can't stand the black showing finger prints!

Good point! I am leaning more towards the white but I'm going to try both and see which one I like. This is the same dilema I had when picking my iPod I hope I will make the right choice. I've given myself some time to figure it out, I think I'm going to make this my Valentine's Day treat to myself. Better than chocolate I say!

Just got the black J12 with the diamond bezel and I love it. I wanted a rolex for a long time, but i felt like everyone else had a rolex and the J12 is more unique (at least for now). I like the black J12 because it looks more formal and not as summery.

Ooh! Please post pictures eunhe! I would love to see photos of the black. It sounds lovely and congrats on your new purchase

congrats! with the diamond bezel, I do think black looks better coz the diamonds more "BLING" with black.
