LouboutinLove 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Does anyone know how J12's are measured? I can't decide between the 33mm or the 38mm from Lay so I measured my current watch (the glass is 31mm wide and from the edge of the bezel either side is 38mm) to compare, but I don't understand whether 33/38mm on the Chanel refers to the width of the glass, or the bezel, or something else enitrely? If someone knows or could measure their own that'd be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted May 15, 2011 The only overall diameter of the watch matters. Not a glass diameter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when Chanel say a watch is the 33mm model, they mean it is 33mm from side to side on the whole face, inc. the bezel? Like a whole case measurement?

houndoggie 58 Posted May 15, 2011 33 mm is a woman's size. 38 mm is a smaller man or larger woman size. Case size is measured at the widest width of the case from 3 to 9. If you are a man, 38 mm is at min. what u want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouboutinLove 0 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Thanks everyone! Yes, I am female haha! But from reading the threads on here women seem to wear both sizes so I was unsure. I think I'm going to go for the 38mm since although I have fairly thin wrists I'm 5"8 and I think the 33mm might look a bit lost on me.

Though, my wife is 5'9 with thin wrists and she wears the 33mm version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
