I am looking for a J12 Marine for my mom for christmas this year... Need some help on where I can find the best deal, and if it could hold up for a while, decent waterproofing, etc.
There's no guarantee that it'll be waterproof unless you buy gen (or have someone waterproof it). I got my fiancee's J12 from PureTime, and the quality is excellent on the rose gold w/ non- diamond bezel.
