ExtraExtra Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just placed the order with King. Let's see how it goes. Have Mrs Ubi seen the J12 marine for ladies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Gee... Chanel watches on a dude? Ever see a Hells Angel with a Chanel? James Bond?, a United States Marine?, John Effin Wayne? I kind of doubt it. I always say taste is an individual statement, and to be respected, and hey, I am in the art business. Lot's of guys here that wear Chanel! Just not what might be referred to as a "Manly" watch. In fact, I would expect to see a Chanel watch on a guys wrist as he spreads his buttcheeks, and you can hear from the other side, "Enter at will fella's". Now anyone can do what they want, but the question was asked and hopefully my take on the subject will be respected and laughed at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I own this. It's a genuine swiss powered Australian brand (retails way over priced for $1200). It's clearly inspired/knocked off from the j12. The thing is, it's 44mm before crown and pushers so it wears bigger than my DSSD. This pic doesn't show it but the carbon fibre dial is really cool. I also really like the rounded insert and the double ringed bezel. I don't like the hands though. mybe i'll get some mercedes hands fitted. All my mates, even the big rugby playing homophobe types, love it. There are a few reasons i wouldn't wear the Chanel j12, though it's small size is the main one.

Noel Fleischer Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have a J12 - black 38mm, not really that feminine but I don't wear it often. The women do LOVE the white 33 or 38mm J12. Replicamake has a special for $78 for the quartz model. I bought 3-4 as gifts and everyone is very happy. I like the 42mm Marine with the blue bezel, wouldn't mind one of those.

StormTooper4 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Is the Diver matt black rather than that waygay shiny plastic looking ceramic? It looks like a rubber strap, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Fenix Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I got the GF a black 38 mm rep for her birthday, and she wears it all the time, and gets compliments on it. I work with a very "flamboyant" guy who has a 42 mm white one in gen supposedly, that his mister man got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 @Ubi - finally the watch arrives and the missues loves it! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 My wife always loved her J12's,had 6 of them at one point. A dude wearing a Chanel watch is like a dude deciding one day that he wants to make his living being a hairdresser. Um,not that there is anything wrong with that....

asf Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 The only male race that can pull off J12's are Asians. Yes it sounds very racist, however being Chinese myself, I see mostly black (and a few white) j12's in men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
