Default ADVICE & J12 Comparison pics 33mm and 38mm
I've decided i want to buy a white J12. I havent gotten around to trying it on my wrist. What size do you have? Any pics would be great too! Im 5'9" with an average wrist and I like a big watch but not necessarily HUGE.

My fiance just bought me the white 33mm w/the diamond markers as an anniversary present. I tried on both sizes and the 38 is gorgeous, but was way too big for my wrist. The face alone was bigger than my wrist, but I do have child sized wrists. I love big watches, but the 38 was just too overwhelming for me. The 33mm is a perfect fit.

I have the white J12, but I don't remember which size it is. here's some pictures of it on my wrist. I am about 5' 9" also, the face measures 1 and a half inches across, maybe someone knows which size that is?

Thanks dd101. Do you know if its a quartz or automatic? I think the 38 is automatic and 33 is quartz.

Mines is a 33mm w/diamond markers. My wrist measures 5 1/2nches around. I had all the links removed and it fits perfect with a tiny gap for comfort yet snug so it's not winding all over the place.

I have the 33mm, in black with diamond markers and white with diamond bezel.The 38 mm looked ridiculous on my wrist. Here are a couple of pix.

I tried both on a couple of weeks ago and definitely like 38mm on me. I love big watch myself.

The 38mm is automatic.

Did they raise the price for J12 yet?

Did you post pics? If not, please do!!!! I know my husband got me the black 33mm w/ruby markershowever, I'm not sure if he's giving it to me for my birthday or Christmas - shhhhhhhhh, it was supposed to be a surprize but sometimes SA's don't know to keep quiet.

I have the plain white one and it is the 33. The 38 looked huge on me, but somehow I always regret not going for the bigger one anyway.

I have both the black and white J12s and both are 33. I love a larger watch but for some reason I found the 38 a little heavy and awkward. The 3 still makes quite a statement.

good luck and you will love this watch!
