maxse Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Need your help experts... So a few years ago I purchased an awesome J12. It was supposed to be super accurate and I believed it to be so... Well about 3 years later the bracelet got worn, dirty, and the screws stripped on the back from battery replacements, and it was just getting old. So I figured I would just get a new one again. I ordered the same model highest quality model that comes with the box, etc... Well, I have just received it and I noticed some big differences. CLASP: Older model has a clasp that has a bar in the middle to make it look like 2 parts, the newer model still closes in two parts but the clasp is straight (See pics). Caseback: The newer model has the word "Ceramic" written on it along with the other words that are on the older model... This does not seem accurate to me. Basically, this is definitely not the same watch that I ordered 3 years ago, but I am unsure which is more accutate? Did Chanel update this specific model? The model is Chanel J12 White ceramic with Diamond Bezel (CZ in this case) ladies 33mm. Would really appreciate your help. Here are the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I would recommend going to a Chanel AD to see what the gen looks like. Alternatively, try searching google & be sure you are not looking at a rep site/watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxse Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I found some images of both. I was wondering maybe they had revisions of the watch? So it could be that if I went to an AD I may see a newer revision of the clasp or something and automatically think that what I have is incorrect...

Major_Error Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 May be a visit to a AD would be interesting?! You do not know any thing..... 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubancurl Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Just saw your post about purchasing a new j12 and it not being like the previous version you had. You were concerned about the clasp. The clasp on the older model you had is CORRECT with the bar down the middle. What dealer did you purchase the older model from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhobson17 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 My missus has the gen (no diamonds) bought about 2 years ago. I can put some pics up if it would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenaven@aol.com Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I would love to see a gen vs rep pictorial. I am also interested in one of these reps for my girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
