Rolex or J12

[LVgal1972]

Im about to get a new Rolex this week, the 31mm ss Oyster bracelet with black dial. But the Chanel J12 is just soooo iressistible and I'm torn between the 2. I already have a 26mm gold and steel rolex, jubilee bracelet with white dial and want a chunky watch so i decided to have the 31mm reserved til friday. Which would you choose between the 2?

i would pick the J 12 only becauseyou already have a rolex. if you did not own one then i would have suggested the 31 mm rolex.

Which J12?

The automatic one with leather strap is very very value for money, I feel.

But if u are getting the ceramic strap version, then I think its overpriced. For that money, Rolex.

the ceramic one....i think its a bit overpriced too

the ceramic one is scratch resistant and my friends swear by it . a couple of my friends love it and especially bought it for the ceramic strap in fact i would say if youwant to go for the leather one DONT. the speciality of J12 and its identity is cermaic strap.

I would have said Rolex, but since you already have one, then maybe you should go for the J12. However, if i did have to choose between the two I would say Rolex.

J12! J12! J12!!!!

I may be getting one next month . Personally I'm not too interested in a Rolex right now because I'm smitten with the J12!

Especially since you already have a Rolex, might as well go for something a little different. J12! lol!

Which one? Black or white ceramic? Stones?

I get so excited about watches...this one in particular!

Let us know what you go for, either one is beautiful!!!

I personally don't care for the rolex, I like the j12, and since you already have other rolex watches, go for something different

[bagsforme]

I'd go for the J12 since you have a rolex. The price is suppose to go up too. Its so different than other watches. I'm having the same problem. Cartier roadster or J12.

When buying a watch, I consider
- History, legacy
- Complications
- Prestige
- Design, and the image i want to project
- And investment/resale value

Its the same with a car. If Chanel made a chic car, will u buy it? Or will u buy a similarly priced fuddy duddy Mercedes?

If you already have a Rolex, go with the J12 for a bit of variety.

When it comes to resale value, history, prestige I guess rolex would be the best buy. For design, maybe the J12 What you think?

Would you know exactly how much the price of the J12 is? I prefer the simple white ceramic, 33mm, with no stones. I believe its just about the same price as the rolex 31mm.

J-12. A little variety is nice. You already have a fine Rolex. The J-12 is fashionable and fun. Both good options for your wardrobe.

If money doesn't matter, I will go for a J12.
