I think it is a classic watch, it is certainly very beautiful and looks great on you! It does look a bit big but I personally love when bracelets and watches are bit loose. It adds an unexpected boho/casual vibe IMO.
Honesty please...is the J12 past its prime?

I can appreciate it on others even though it’s not my style, however I do think you should let it go because there’s so many other watches that can be more suited for your wrist eg cartier, Rolex, omega etc. A timepiece may be “classic” but doesn’t mean it will suit everyone. Given that you’ve own it for a decade and no longer find it exciting why not let it go to someone who will and you can use the funds for something else?
I also think the white makes it look bigger and pop too much whereas the black/stainless steel pieces can work on small wrists (as shown above)

Since it doesn’t do anything for ya, I’d sell it. You can take the $$$$ & get something else you can enjoy again. [emoji2]
I have the 38 mm with diamond markers. I really like oversized watches. It is my absolute favorite watch to wear. The ceramic has never chipped and has held up very well over 11 years of use. The white pops very well, and I get complimented on it often. I personally think it's a classic. Can't imagine ever selling mine.
For my personal taste, I think it’s too big for your wrist (even though I like big watches) good luck on your decision!
I think white is not as trendy anymore. Black is ok. But for you, how about a true classic like a Rolex. I wear a 40mm Daytona and have small wrists and I think it looks great. I like large watches on small wrists, makes a great statement.
To me, the issue with your watch is that it is white. Just my two cents. Hope that helps.

I remember seeing an ad for the white one in a German airport 15 years ago. I wanted it soooo badly. I thought about it for years.
I prefer the black one now, but I went for the Rolex. With a white face, lol.

I love mine! I have both the white and black in yellow gold with diamonds. Never get tired of the look.
I have the black with diamond markers in 38mm and LOVE it!!! It's on the large side for me and it took some getting used to, but I love the fact that I never need a new battery. I've always pined away at the thought of having a J12 in white as well, but the white band doesn't look that great with my coloring for whatever reason... I do believe the J12s are still fashionable and Chanel continues to produce models each year. What size are you interested in?
My Rolex the midsize which is abut 31 I think, I love that size so it would be whichever model is closest in size. I don't love too much bling, but would like diamond markers. My Rolex has them and they're not OTT.
