jfreeman420 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Picked up this really nice Chanel J12 for my girlfriend's birthday. Got it from my local watch guy. Solid ceramic and the stones really sparkle. I am a bit jealous. Hope this is a bit more durable considering she broke the swiss masterpiece my girls are famous for. I would definitely recommend this watch for any of the members ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Make sure she's not too terribly rough with it; my wife has thoroughly demonstrated that ceramic cases can be cracked... Before: After: So, now we're on J12 #2... This time, she's only managed to crack a link or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 So, now we're on J12 #2... This time, she's only managed to crack a link or two. And so it goes with women and watches. This is why I buy them reps. I bought mine a gen pair of dior sunglasses around $300, she left them in a bathroom 2 days later. The $10 ones have lasted a while now. Women are mostly the same when it comes to this kind of stuff. God forbid she should change her oil. I guess that's what we get for leaving the seat up.

ubiquitous Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I dunno how she does it, but Mrs. Ubi is just tough on her watches! Indeed, I am glad I opted for the rep for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catboy Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 any pointers for where to get a decent j12? im after one like mrs ubi's for my girlfriend but i brought one from one of our "trusted dealers" and it had a string of things wrong with it.. when i emailed to say there were issues with it i was told its an old rep, you get what you're given and that was that... i know im a newbie but anyway, i've fixed up a few things but would like to get a replacement one which is right to start with; the scratch on the rehault is not something i can fix and the missing clasp pin i replaced with a spare pin from somewhere else doesn't really work properly any help appreciated b ps.. she's after the girl size quartz rather than the unisex auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Guru- I am sorry for picking up on this late- What size is the J12 that you have? Hit me up via PM and we can go over the specifics. If I have what you need, I'd be more than happy to gift it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The ever helpful Ubi I cant get my wife to like anything when it comes to watches, we just seem to have such different tastes, she really goes for the girly stuff and shys away from the sportier ones. Amazingly we have agreed the the Chanel J12 is a beautiful watch, so may be hunting one down myself soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 she broke the swiss masterpiece my girls are famous for. Girls, eh? Nice watch, the J12's seem to be well favored. Looks great. Hey, Opti- have her look at those new quartz 1:1 TAGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics of this watch only tell half the story; you gotta experience it in person to truly appreciate how great these ceramic J12s are...

opti Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Well Ive done it Ubi, I just pulled the trigger on a J12 for the Mrs We have our first child due in 3 weeks, I figure she deserves a gift carrying my child for 9 months. I dunno if I should give it to her before, or after the big event. Getting it delivered to my brothers house so I can keep it a surprise. 9 Edited March 11, 2010 by opti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaljesus Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 just received it today and wow, this thing really is gorgeous The watch or the baby? If youre talking about the baby you should probably cut this talk out: Any tips guys, the last thing I want to do is break it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 The watch or the baby? If youre talking about the baby you should probably cut this talk out: heheh nah the watch, baby is still cooking I found a thread with some pics explaining how to re size the band, this is going to be nerve raking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 ok, managed to swipe her watch and measure it when she wasn't looking, then proceeded to adjust the bracelet accordingly. Found a great thread where someone described doing it with a pin pusher and it worked a treat. I'd be very nervous hammering ceramic Here are some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Gorgeous! Yeah... She's gonna love it! I have to say, Mrs. Ubi gets compliments on her's everywhere she goes. It's a watch that everyone seems to notice and folks just ooh and ahh over it. I'm thinking of getting her another, but this time in black (though she's expressed that she's not interested in black, I think she might change her mind when she sees it).

opti Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 yeah the black does look very nice Now I have to try and hold out and store the present till the right time, something very difficult for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
