One for the missus

Recommended Posts

Thommo82

So I've been trying to get my missus to let me buy her a watch for fucking ages now, but you know how stubborn women can be....

She loves her Chanel beauty products and when I showed her the white ceramic Chanel J12 her eyes lit up and she said, " that's the one".

Now a gen is $5000 or something, fuck that

From the start I always knew I was getting her a cheap Quartz because she would whinge about an automatic, as im sure other members wives would, right?

Anyway, my old pal DHGate came to the rescue and I came across this;

 

https://m.dhgate.com/product/luxury-brand-lady-white-ceramic-watches-high/379299642.html

 

I ordered the 33mm version with diamontes

Watch arrived in 14 days to Australia, well packed and I honestly couldn't be happier

From what I can tell it's made with real ceramic, and has a really nice weight about it.

Uni-directional bezel, which surprised me, screw in crown, which surprised me even more.

 

Watch looks very close to gen, with all correct markings and fonts

One small downside is that bracelet links have a little play, but for $28 WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK?!?!

 

Overall I'm extremely happy with this purchase and for the money it has well exceeded my expectations.

 

Most importantly, my wife loves it and that's the main thing

So if you're thinking of getting your missus a nice looking, cheap but quality watch, I highly recommend this one

Thanks for reading

Take care, here's some pics

You can't go wrong for the money, I would have been happy at $80

Seller was very helpful too, I accidentally made two orders initially and seller talked me through the cancellation process

You do know there's a severe punishment for having 4 wives?

Haha, I'm so sorry for saying this, but that's bad, seeing that you all have a good vibe about it. That's a really bad replica.

I can't even call it a replica - that's a fake.

 

Sure thing, it's cheap and it's for the missus and nobody really cares I guess - But that looks nowhere near the gen.

Like a McDonalds toy.. :)

If you were holding it in your hand you may change your tone

Btw, all reps are fakes

I'm sure if I had your photography skills I could make this turd shine

I honestly think it looks really good. OK not super rep under a loupe good, but definitely not a chance of getting called out at wrist distance. I was impressed enough from that photo to order one for my Mrs albeit a slightly different model.

 

Its easy to forget that this is a full ceramic replica watch delivered to your door, for less than most of the TD's here charge for delivery on their more high end fakes

I've just sold the real one on Ebay and I also had the copy that I sold for £25

We looked at them both side by side and if there was a huge difference, I couldn't see what it was.

This watch is the biggest rip-off in history. You can buy a ceramic, aftermarket bracelet on Ebay for forty-odd quid and it contains a quartz movement that's about another thirty quid

and then you pay three thousand quid because it's got the word chanel on it.

Whoever buys the real one in order to show off wants thrashing within an inch of their lives with a big stick.

Nice Mate will put you in the good books for a while.

 

I've seen some half decent Cartier's on the gate, I may have a stab at for the missus. Then she will be able to tell me specifically what time we are not having any :lmao:

Yeah the rep at a third of the price is looking even more of a bargain

 

I've spent more on a bunch of flowers that lasted less than a week

There's a high chance that the gen of this is made in the same factory/type of factory as the rep, resulting in such a close piece. For what these cost to make, Chanel gets a hefty 1000% markup. Those are some lucrative margins.

Very true. Look what the brand names do to the rep market as well. My guess is that these rep factories make a fairly healthy markup on the rep versions we all buy. Even in the rep world, brand names command a premium. Noob Factory is like the Rolex of rep subs

Looks nice. How easy is the strap to resize on these? (I've only ever resized an Omega CrPO bracelet that had screws so it was nice and easy).
