Are the Chanel ceramic reps any good?

[Speedfreak]

I see that a few dealers are selling 2 different versions, one for around $100 and one for double that. I believe the cheaper ones have a different movement and are painted steel instead of ceramic. DOes this sound right? Any feedback on these? Thx...

There is actually 4 "grades" of them from what I have been seeing....

Plastic bracelet
Ceramic over Stainless Steel
Low-Grade Ceramic
High-Grade Ceramic

What I am curious about is the difference between the $180-200 version and the $350 version other than that the $350 comes with box and papers... I have been told the ceramic is much nicer but I can't see a difference in pics...

I ve bought a black ceramic J12 for my wife (for last Xmas) : high garde one with box and paper. Amazing watch. I have compare it with a real one, side to side, and only the bezel font is little bit different.
Now i am not a ceramic expert and i don't know is it's better on this one than on the 200$ model ...

Some pics (difficult to take good pics cause of the reverberation of ceramic)

I just got my wife the white ceramic high grade. No box and papers as they only collect dues since she wears it a lot. Got her the high grade and the ceramic material is very good. Clear and no deiscoloration on it. I did not see any imperfections on it s as well.

As long as you stay with the high grade you should be okey. I want to buy the black one for myself now so Ill post update when I have it.

high grade with no box and papers from who? how much? inquiring minds want to know!!!

There's a $200 version out there of the ladies version that i would like to think is pretty much the $350ish version without the box and papers...
