I really like the look of the Chanel J12 but unfortunately I can't afford to pay that much on a watch.

Are there any other brands with a similar style within the £150 budget.

Thanks in advance.

i'm not sure about the price but i know that michelle and fendi both have ceramic watches and they're really pretty!

Michael Kors has lots of white/black watches that look similar to Chanel's J12. I have one myself and love it!

I had a look at the Michele watches and when I do the conversion from dollars to GBP its out of my budget.

ahertz · Oct 28th, 2009, 05:23 PM

I have the Michele and love it. But more budget-conscious versions are made by:
TechnoMarine
Aqua Master
Swiss Legend
Michael Kors

Some good plastic versions that look like ceramic:
Plasteramic ToyWatch
DKNY
Michael Kors (they make both ceramic and plastic)

I have both the white & the black Plasteramic ToyWatch. I love them to death! They're affordable but look very chic. I always get loads of compliments on them. I also like how light they are on my wrist.

TechnoMarine is really pretty and looks just like the J12.

skyqueen · Oct 28th, 2009, 10:52 PM

^^I have a white J12, 33mm, diamond bezel. Love it but I want a black watch for the winter. Can't afford another J12 so I'm looking at the TechnoMarine ceramic with a diamond bezel. VERY affordable and looks great on the website!!! I have not seen it IRL, though. Check it out.

I have a Technomarine, but it might be a bit out of your budget - it has been excellent though and would be a great choice if you want to splash out !

Definitely give ToyWatch a try !

Thank you for all of suggestions. I will have a look today at the ones mentioned.

Many thanks,

Hi,

These are the ones I have found that I like. Which one do you like best?

Michael Kors
http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/product.asp?cid=1&pid=12647 leather strap, within the budget
http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/product.asp?cid=1&pid=14672 ceramic, over budget
http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/product.asp?cid=1&pid=14663 rubber, slightly over budget

TechnoMarine - Out of budget!
Aquamaster - Out of budget!

Swiss Legend
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Swiss-Legend...6814624&sr=1-3 like this one, over budget!

DKNY

Fossil has theses styles:

http://www.fossil.com/webapp/wcs/sto...agePath=ES2437

http://www.fossil.com/webapp/wcs/sto...agePath=ES1967

I can't say anything bad about their watches since, I can't seem to break the ones that I have.

Brina · Oct 29th, 2009, 10:05 AM

I have the "Stella" watch from Fossil and I love it! I can really recommend this watch and it looks like a Chanel.

shopaholic1987 · Oct 29th, 2009, 11:59 AM

I'm off to look at fossil.

ahertz · Oct 29th, 2009, 12:14 PM

I think the ToyWatch or Fossil options are the best for you if you really want the J12 look.
