Honesty please...is the J12 past its prime?

[Missdior8310]

I really like this watch in the white. I like the smaller sized phantom white, or the smaller sized mother of pearl with diamonds. I want to get myself a watch for my 50th birthday. However, I watch is even in any longer? Should I buy it new or pre-loved? Should I buy it at all? My other option is a stainless steel Rolex. I’m looking at about $2500 more if I get that watch. Anybody own This watch and comment?

Rolex is a better option.

Id go for the classic watch first personally. I have this watch on my list also, but wear my Rolex daily.

I have both J12 and Rolex and love both equally!

I am thinking the same as you! Are they still “in”?

As long as big watches are still "in," J12 is too..

Ps. Chanel manufactures new versions every year.

Baggage, I have a Rolex two tone date just with diamonds and a SS Cartier tank. Does it make sense to get a white Chanel J12 now? If you had my two watches and were going to splurge on a watch, what would it be?

Good question.. you have two beautiful watches!

I love the white J12, but with my coloring it only looks good in the summer when I'm tan, so for me personally I probably wouldn't get it unless I decided it was a mad money spend on a watch specifically for the spring/summer. I do own a black J12 w/diamond markers, 38mm automatic, and it is fabulous and takes a beating like no other with no signs of wear and tear. Good luck deciding and let us know if you purchase it. Would love to see it.

I just wanted something different.

I hear that! Have you tried one on? Do you know which size you would get?

You gave me a great idea! I don’t know why I never considered the black one. I haven’t tried one on. Are boutiques even open yet?

I think it depends on where you are.

Btw, black J12 goes with just about everything, dresses up or down and knows no season..

I think the 38 would be miles too big, same with the 33, so I am seriously considering the 29. I have tiny wrists. Is that too small? I’m in Atlanta. I think there is a boutique inside NM.
