MadeOfCheese 0 Posted April 18, 2012 So, I'm clearly gonna have to get one of these for Mrs Cheese in 38mm (even though it's a quartz when the gen is auto). However I'm really torn. I really like the matt grey that Del just got, but I'm a bit worried that it's a bit too dark. I also really like the dark chrome, but I'm a bit worried that it's a bit bling. This (hope Reg doesn't mind me using his pics - if so, mods feel free to remove): or this: She currently wears a Michael Kors white ceramic with diamond bezel, so she's not too afear'd of the bling, but that's actually a pretty classy watch (and 41mm to boot). So I'm leaving the decision up to you, my esteemed fellows. Don't let me down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,843 Posted April 19, 2012 I'm partial to the SS look in watches, I voted for the dark chrome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leigh 0 Posted April 19, 2012 I like the white also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadeOfCheese 0 Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah the white is nice, but she already has white in the Michael kors and I wanted to get her something different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arism 26 Posted April 19, 2012 If I had to choose between the two, I'd get the matt grey one simply because the chrome looks a tad too blingy for my tastes. Also the chrome looks like it can get scratched up pretty easily too with daily wear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadeOfCheese 0 Posted April 19, 2012 Good point about the scratches, although if it's true titanium ceramic it should be pretty resilient. I'm starting to come around full circle to the matt grey.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita Fanjita 1,805 Posted April 19, 2012 My wife has a 38mm white J12, but she likes the chrome too. The only thing about the chrome one above is the bezel should be like the one on the matt finish and not as important, the date wheel should be white print on black. Either way though, great watches for the money if you get one from Reg Gen pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtwc 1 Posted April 19, 2012 Mrs gtwc should also be getting the matt grey one, 33mm like Mrs Del. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalboy 2 Posted April 19, 2012 Speak to Del, he just treated his missus to one of these babies.................Matt grey he says is stunning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadeOfCheese 0 Posted April 19, 2012 Aston, now you've pointed out the bezel on the chrome one it sticks out like a sore thumb - cheapens it considerably I think. Matt grey it is then - thanks guys, knew you wouldn't let me down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, thats what puts me off getting it for the wife, although Pure Time do a pretty good version but it is rather pricey for a quartz (http://puretimewatch.com/product/j12-chromatic-mens-39mm-titaniumceramic-numeral-dial-jap-quartz/) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
