not sure, but thinking that is closer to the $6300 price tag. I bought a J12 last year with diamond markers, ibecause I was feeling sorry for myself for having to have surgery. I 've hardly worn it and wish I had that money to put towards the rolex. I actually listed it this week at CL. I cant decide if I am ready to let it go. I know everyone here loves them, I feel like it is just so heavy and clunky. Plus, I am tall and have large hands and wrists so I just feel like it looks big, KWIM? Well, good look deciding!

Hokaplan - have you seen the new j12 in person? They look nice but I prefer the ceramic j12s that you have already. I am not a big fan of the titanium look...it looks a little cheap to me (or I am just not used to the glossy gunmetal look yet. It looks very trendy). And for the price I'd rather get stainless steel...and a Rolex haha. Or as others have mentioned, since you are a watch aficionado you should look into other brands like vacheron or patek.

Hoka as you may know I agree 100% with Kohl on this one, I suggest Rolex and the MOP they produce is like no other hands down the best!!! I don't blame you on getting another watch lol I'm also beyond obsessed with watches really! DH just gifted me another Rolex and I'm already planning out my next watch purchase lol it never ends!!!

All of you have been so helpful. I know it is probably best to go with rolex but I must try on the titanium J12 to be certain.

Good plan, because in the end it is going on your wrist. Buy what you love.

I wear a JS Watch Co. because I like the company, design and movement, not because anyone recommended it. I was certain I wanted a Bell & Ross, but when I finally tried it on, I did not like it. Enjoy the experience of watch shopping and I hope you find something you like amongst all the brands out there.

I had a black 38mm J12 w/ diamond markers and never wore it because it was so clunky. It was a beautiful watch, but just not comfortable for me. I sold it and bought a pre-owned Rolex Air-King for about half of the price. That also never gets worn and is soon to leave me. While I'm not much of a Rolex girl I would definitely get a MOP Rolex over the new J12s.

Just read a review of new J12 that says it will NEVER show any signs of wear such as scratches and stuff. Good for me since I'm so anal about that. But it might be a really masculine looking watch without the diamonds. What do you think? Can't afford the diamonds!
