Chanel J12 Black 3 Days J12 Black Watch

Speaking of size, the http://www.tmfworx.com/top-replica-chanel-j12-chromatic-watches.html utilizes the in-house P.3000 movement, a hand-winding calibre that measures a whopping 16? lignes – roughly 37mm. The watch has a sapphire caseback that reveals the movement in its entirety. However, it’s simply finished and two large brush-finished bridges cover much of it, hence there’s really nothing much to look at it.

Beating at 21,600 vph, the P.3000 uses two mainspring barrels connected in series to give it a power reserve of 72 hours or 3 days – hence the name. The Chanel J12winds really smoothly, as if the crown itself was bathed in rich butter. There’s no clicking sound, just a slight resistance that builds and builds until the movement is fully wound. However, to generate enough power for 3 days, it does take many turns before the watch is fully wound. This should not be a problem because winding is one of the joys of a manual movement and I found it fun to wind the replica Chanel J12 GMT.

The replica Chanel watches is a basic time-only movement, but it does have a helpful feature up its sleeves. Pull the crown into the second position, and it lets you advance only the hours. This is useful if you find yourself traveling across timezones. This is actually a relatively rare complication. That said, the movement was never one of the Chanel J12’s strong selling points as there are more advanced in-house Chanel movements out there. The P.3000 is about as basic as it gets.

Much of the J12 Black’s allure is down to the dial, which is highly reminiscent of the vintage Reference 6512. Like the vintage 6512, it has a sandwich dial and a simple design with only the hour markers (12, 3, 6 and 9 are in Chanel’s characteristic font) and the words J12 Chanel engraved on it. The engraved words are then filled with an “ecru” colored paint, as are the hour markers. To match it, the hour and minute hands are done in gold. Like most Chanels, the J12 Black is highly legible, both day and night.

Finally, to top it off, Chanel has decided to fit the J12 Black with a highly-domed 3mm-thick Plexiglass crystal. This has been a point of contention amongst collectors and enthusiasts. Detractors argue that a Plexiglass crystal collects scratches too easily and has no place on a luxury watch. They would thus prefer a sapphire crystal. Also, Plexiglass adds thickness to an already bulky watch, making it tough to fit under shirt cuffs. On the other hand, those who like the Plexiglass crystal argue that it gives the dial a certain “warmth” that sapphire crystals can never hope to achieve with their clear, perfect clarity.
