Hmmm maybe it's going to go up soon?! I know it's been awhile since the price has gone up!!

I loooove my J12... I got the white 33mm with the diamond bezel and I wear it all the time! It really is a beautiful watch! Good luck deciding!

im still debating. Everyone is telling me to get a j12 for 16000 is not worth it. or whatever. And my mom wanted me to get a rolex. or sth else. So im still looking .
 
J12 more of a dress watch. I guess if u are really a fan of Chanel, why not?
I hv one in 38mm and it's was my everyday watch for long time as it was scratch resistant.

But if u are looking for one with value, Rolex will be undisputable.
 
Had it for four five years never left my wrist. I tried to wear my cartier santos but it only happened once in those four years. I love that it is scratch resistance and with a little soap and water my watch is as new as the first day I got it.

It is my classic style and I don't really care what other ppl think. I do want to add more cartier, chopard and maybe a simple Rolex to my collection but I view Chanel as much on par with the everyday collection of these brands. It just comes down to personal preference

Watches is such a different and interesting industry. Swatch supplies 70% of the world's watched movements and you normally don't associate them with high end brands. Any reputable watch brand be legit and have amazing mechanics from a technical perspective.
 
It has been here for a while and I think it is one of those new classics. You should buy it if you like it ;-)
Chanel is not a traditional watch brand but I have not heard of any issues with this particular watch?
 
what do you think if blancpain??i really like one of the blancpain and audemars piguet watch but it is a out of my budget. Do you ladies actually finance a watch?im thinking about maybe pay a lump sump in the beginning and pay the rest on a monthly basis. there is sth called bill me later which you can pay in 6month.
 
I have a white J12 38 and I love it. I don't look at it as trendy at all. Trendy things tend to fizz out after a couple of years, and J12s have been around for a long time.

As for older women wearing J12s......last week on American Idol's finale, Aretha Franklin was wearing her white J12 proudly!!

I had a white J12 and loved it until I saw the Dior VIII white cermamic. I sold my J12 and bought the Dior 38 mm automatic. Much prettier. I love it so much and wear it more than my Rolex. And I am 55 years young.
