How close is this watch to the gen in terms of looks, etc.

Also - how durable is the "ceramic" on the reps, the clasp etc?

Any problems?

Want to get one for V day

It's one of the most highly recommended ladies gift watches, cdot. I believe Guru has a great list (with pics) of great ladies watches somewhere. I'll dig a little for it.

Here it is. Good luck ;)

How about the caseback engraving on the 33mm?
Is it pretty accurate?

Or if someone can post some pics of the caseback on the 33mm

or tell me the differences between gen and rep that would be AWESOME

just perused the Chanel site. they don't have any 33mm models listed and all the black ones have date windows with white numbers on a black background and every rep i've seen here has black numbers on a white background.
hmmmm....

I remember doing research on this a long time ago. I ended up figuring that nobody would know because it's a Chanel watch. Maybe a handful of people could ever tell the difference.

Anyways ... my girlfriends white Chanel j12 seems to be getting "dirty". The medal pins that hold the bracelet together has stained the white ceramic to the point that I would be embarrassed to wear it. Not surprising though and she seems to wear it anyway. I plan on buying her a new one from marvelous replica if he still has that deal goin on for the 33mm.

She loves the style and all her friends, including family, started buying fossil and Michael kors white ceramic wannabes.

my wife has 2 39mm ones or 40mm? on hers the biggest flaw is that the cutouts in the bezel are too wide, and the smooth part between the cutouts are too small.
I think this used to be on all the models, but I thnk they fixed it on some models now.

judge for yourself:

I just got the cheap quartz version in 33mm; The bracelet was a bit stiff at first but after some use and oiling, it was good. I also water proofed the watch by taking it apart and applying silicone grease on the gaskets.

One thing I did notice is about the dial indexes; on the 33mm pictures I found online (gens) the indexes are on the rehaut where as the rep is simply on the dial (I think the 38mm has them on the dial):
gen - indexes on rehaut:
