No new J12. It looks like bright silver IRL. Kinda cheap. In pics, it looks gorgeous. I vote Rolex over a J12 any time!
I own a J12 and never ever use it. I should sell it, but I keep thinking I will wear it.


SO true. I have worn my J12 Chrono maybe three times and keep debating the same thing. I sold my white 38mm automatic and lost a lot. I don't think they hold their value IMO. The new titanium J12's were awful IRL. I tried on three of them and even my SA was not impressed. They show EVERY fingerprint. You'd be constantly wiping it all day. They do look cheap considering the retail price. I vote for Rolex!!
 
LOL!
ok - here goes - hopefully I got them all!
Cartier roadster with pink face and Cartier medium ss automatic ballon bleu
white automatic 38mm plain J12 and black quartz 33mm with diamond markers J12
rolex air king with blue face and orange numbers
ladies tt rolex with jubilee dial and diamond markers
mid-size ss rolex with rhodium Roman #'s, jubilee band and fluted bezel
a baume and mercier, a concord scala, a raymond weil parsifal, a michael kors rose gold
that is pretty much it!
 
For me, if you are getting another Rolex, it should be a Daytona.

Sine you don't have a Chanel, maybe that would be fun. Can you still get the black or white, since the new one doesn't seem to be getting great buzz?

I have a black 33mm diamond markers and have rarely worn it. I was wondering what kind of resale they would bring.
I am wanting a ballon bleu really badly.

This J12 really does look cheap, I wonder why they did that? Chanel wants to be placed in the luxury timepeice catagory. Then they do this. They should of went more classic. LOL
 
Okay, so this is really OT. Just out of curiousity since the OP has such a FABULOUS watch collection and I am currently working on getting my very first watch. What is the smallest mm you have in your collection OP? I tried on a 38mm since that is what my friend recommended and it looked too big on my puny wrist. Was on my lunch break so couldn't try on any others. What do you recommend?

I know, I agree. Not sure what Chanel was thinking? I am with you on the ballon bleu. It's been calling me too. I have to get the Love bracelet first and than maybe.... I think the J12's sell for typically 30-40% off retail from what I have seen on the resale market.
