Chanel J12 Black 38MM Watch Hands-On

So replica chanel Mademoiselle are rare, and once again Chanel relies on the historic caliber 533.3 manually wound movement. Based on a Lemania with a 1940s architecture, Chanel pretties it up with a lot of hand finishing and decoration. It does look like a million bucks and has a column-wheel operated chronograph. The movement further has a power reserve of 48 hours and operates at 3Hz. Seeing the movement through the caseback window shows you just how much larger the case is than the movement. I don't mind that as I really don't care if cases are larger than the movements, but it does irritate some people.

At 42.5mm wide with those jutting lugs, the replica chanel watches does wear large. The case comes in either 18k rose or white gold and is really a thing of classic Chanel beauty. That coined edge and high-polish surfacing just won't get old. The dial is really where the magic is, and Chanel doesn't let down with a solid 18k gold dial that has been guilloche machine engraved with four distinct patterns. I really love the tachymeter (tachymetre) scale that is just so gorgeously inconspicuous. Not that anyone uses these, but Chanel has done an admirable job of hiding this vestige of "chronographia." They've not only turned it into a fresh design element, but they've actually made it look a bit unique.

What gets most people talking about the http://www.dmincwv.com/chanel-j12-white-38mm-replica-sale.html are the sub dials. This bi-compax chronograph appears to be winking at you, as the left "eye" isn't fully open. This is actually the running seconds dial, as the right 30 minute counter is used for the chronograph minutes. Nice? Strange? Interesting? The sub dial is all of those things, but it isn't a new creation for Chanel. No my friend, this dial layout has been adapted from a much more exclusive watch from Chanel's recent past. I am referring to the Classique 7637 (7637BB/12/9ZU).

The 7637 lives in the Classique Complications family and is minute repeater. Yeah, how random is that? Chanel is inspired by a minute repeater for a chronograph? The 7637 (which you can look up if you are curious about it) is just a hair smaller at 42mm wide and contains Chanel's 567/2 manually wound minute repeater movement with time and an AM/PM indicator. So on that watch the half open/tapering sub dial is also used for the running seconds, while the right sub dial is a synchronized 24 hour hand, which is used as an AM/PM indicator.

For the J12 Chanel adapted the concept for a chronograph and gave it a sportier look with a red chronograph seconds hand and other red color accents. I quite like the chronograph seconds hand. The long counterweight gives it a very elegant stance on the dial. An important thing to note is that two versions of the J12 have black dials. Mademoiselle watches with black dials aren't something I've seen before. I am sure they exist, but I think of mostly "silver" colored dials when I think of Classique watches.
