Upside:
  • Audemars Piguet automatic movements
  • Ceramic cases
Downside
  • Chanel name
  • A bit "blingy"
Further opinions?

I love my full size black J12 with diamond dot dial. Top class watch imho, very very well put together.

I think you'll find that only the J12 Calibre AP 3125 uses an Audemars Piguet movement: http://www.thewatchquote.com/Chanel-and-Audemars-P...

RRP is 18,000 Euros

The rest of the models use either quartz or Swiss automatic movements though Chanel are cagey about declaring where they get them. I'd suggest they are ETA-based as per most of the other large group-owned brands.

All in all, the J12 is a bit too "Footballer's Wives" for me!

Which is exactly the same movement as in mine and it cost nothing like 18000 euros.
