Title: here's a fun one - Chanel J12 Marine
Post by: mikeylacroix on March 24, 2015, 07:41:35 PM

I really like this one.
Got it for a lower price as the previous owner had definitely put it through its paces...
the original rubber strap and buckle has seen better days...
its the 42mm version advertised at 38mm..probably why it flew under the radar on the bay...
I have to say Chanel does the whole ceramic case thing very very well.

put it on a shaved down 22mm (this one's 21)..it sits higher on the lugs so the watch sits better on the wrist now
