Just yesterday we showed you a http://www.tmfworx.com/top-replica-chanel-j12-watches.html that was a clear descendent of the ever popular J12. It was called the J12 Chromatic Non-Date and its similarities to the J12 were as clear as day. Today we are showing you a watch that actually IS an J12, despite not having the word written on the face. We are talking about what many people believe to be the rarest of Chanel J12, a watch that few people have ever seen in person. What makes it even more interesting is that it doesn't even have the J12 name on it. It is called the replica Chanel J12 Chromatic and it was produced in EXTREMELY limited quantities, and only in Japan, and only on a trial-basis. Inspired by the Mercury astronauts' first visit to Japan in 1963, the replica Chanel watches watch was only produced as a test. If the watch was a commercial success, Chanel would then go ahead and re-brand the J12 as the J12 Chromatic for the Japanese market. Needless to say, it was not a success and very few of the J12 Chromatics ever made into the open market. The J12 was chosen to commemorate the astronauts' visit because they were (at the time) considered the world's greatest J12. This particular J12 Chromatic is circa 1966 and appears to be in excellent, original condition. No price is given but when these rare animals do come up for sale (usually at auction), they fetch around $30,000-$40,000, which is astronomical for what is essentially a 1016 J12. Dweller" can make this watch a legend among collectors, when there is no technical or mechanical difference at all. Then again, vintage watches isn't a reasonable hobby, it's all about passion and feeling. This Chanel J12 Chromatic is a purely emotional object of desire. If we were reasonable people, we would have no lust for this piece and instead purchase an J12 1016 like this one for a fraction of the cost. Or, if we were even more reasonable, we would buy the J12 Chromatic Non-Date below which is essentially an early J12 (again without the name) at half the price of an J12 (as opposed to 6x the price like the J12 Chromatic). We are definitely not reasonable people. This is a chance to own one of the most rare, most desired, and most valuable (from a future ROI standpoint) watches in the world. We highly recommend you follow the below link to the selling party, and if you can at all afford it, buy this watch. http://watchesukchm.webukr.net/2014/12/16/1978-chanel-j12-black-a-perfect-daily-wear-high-grade-watch/ http://promoclanek.cz/2014/12/16/consider-this-the-most-expensive-chanel-made-in-the-1930s/ http://saliplantgarden.com/es/foros/saliplant-garden/normas-de-uso-del-foro-y-la-web/consider-most-expensive-chanel-made-1930s http://watchesukchm.seesaa.net/article/410750309.html
