Chanel J12 - is a watch suitable for a man?

I used to wear one, it matches perfectly with my vagina.

Is your vagina a 1:1 genuine copy???

I just saw the J12 Marine 42mm with the blue ceramic bezel in the flesh and it looks awesome...Just wondering if anyone have bought the rep yet...

White one looks great on my wrist, I'd say it is a unisex watch regardless of size. I think everyone pointing out "gay" is either joking or has a skewed perception of real life and needs to go outside a bit more often.

I used to wear a white J12 ceramic. I wear a lot of white so it always looked good. And for all the dudes hating. Girls will complement a guy wearing a white j12 waaaaay more than some douche bag wearing a PAM

The watch was a great convo starter for a number of women I met and I'm also a professional fashion photographer so Chanel anything is pretty cool.

BUT the white watches are extremely played out. It was cool a year ago but now cheap watch makers have made so many all white watches that I refuse to wear it. I just picked up a hublot big bang all black and in terms of styling and appeal its on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I'm also a photographer for Lamborghini so this watch definitely suits the shoots/events that I go to very well.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is. The white j12 was cool a year ago, but get something else like a HBB

I heard that Chanel J12 was produced as a watch for women only, then, when men started to like it, they called their models "unisex" as a marketing policy, and started to sell J12 for men, too. Is this true? I really love the the J12 chrono model, on both colours. Ok, maybe I love more the white ceramic version.... But I'm afraid to buy it, because I'm aware of the danger to be called "the gay guy with the white watch". So...any Chanel addicts here to advise me?

I just bought the black chrono model for myself. I've heard plenty of clucking on other boards about how gay it is for a man to wear a Chanel watch. Frankly, I don't really give a damn. My chrono is a 41mm black ceramic watch. There is nothing about it that's feminine. I wouldn't advise getting a white one though, because then it gets a little iffy. Only black guys can wear a white watch and get away with it.

Get yourself a black one and wear it proudly. It's a great looking watch and there's no reason not to enjoy it.
