I've been studying these tonight, trying to decide which one to get for my wife, the date position looks off centre (distance between 4 & 5) on the $200, it looks dead centre on the $350 version, and also comparing them to a gen pic the hour markers and Chanel font looks better on the $350 version, but then the bezel looks better on the $200 version (look at the 3 and the 5's), this may all be down to photo angles/focus etc not sure, and also the only person who would care is me, my wife wouldn't know a $2 watch from $2k watch, but it's mothers day soon, and she is a fantastic mum so I think I'll go for the $350 version she deserves it, well actually she deserves the gen but I can't afford it if these pics are accurate that $350 version with the bezel from the $200 version would make a perfect rep! [edit] well almost perfect, just noticed the J12 on the dial sits too low.
