I’m thinking of purchasing a watch from Chanel. Any inputs regarding quality would be greatly appreciated
thank you

I used to own a 33mm white J12, then a few years ago I sold that and upgraded to a 38mm black J12 365 (which I think is discontinued). Both watches were/are good I have no issue. I wear my black one all the time including at work and I don’t baby it. I don’t think you can go wrong with J12, either black or white goes with everything and the ceramic is durable, just don’t drop your watch and you will be fine.D0930FA7-E15F-4790-99E9-FFA22A259F3F.jpegACE4C6A9-3D2C-4C0A-A1E5-55C239D6D0BD.jpeg541EFBF9-06FA-4115-8BAA-297EDD479F47.jpeg
 
I stopped by the boutique today to try on the J12 black version in size 33 and 38. While I'd love to have the automatic version, the 33 looked best on me. What do you all think? For those who have bought the non-automatic version, how often did you have to replace the batteries? Is there a fee each time you do?

Free as long as you purchased the watch from the Chanel boutique if I’m not mistaken.
 
I had my heart set on the boyfriend medium watch with the black quilted strap and wanted to purchase it in Hawaii last month. However when I got there, they were wiped out of stock:sad:
 
My 38mm J12 is one of the best watches I've ever owned. It has held up beautifully over the years, no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend it!

I have the premiere watch and love it!
I've been eyeing the premiere rock in steel and black leather, and I'm surprised there isn't as much love or TPFers with this watch!

Weird question for you or any premiere watch owners: do you have trouble telling time? The watch face does seem quite small...

This is what's hold me back + price. I do see a lot of the gold version (premiere rock) on the preloved market but I feel like the silver is easier to match things with.

Could you tell me more about the bracelet in the middle pic? Looks lovely with your watch.
