Last week, Daniel, one of my friends, complained to me that he bought a Chanel J12 black ceramic watch with a big amount of money. But it turned out to be a high imitation actually, which made him very angry. Daniel was unbelievable that how he could be so careless to not identify it was a fake one. Well, as a matter of fact, quite a few people had similar experiences as Daniel did, especially when associating with those high-end brands, like Chanel.

As we all know, Chanel, being considered as luxury symbol, has lots of followers and imitators. The Chanel J12 black ceramic watch is Chanel’s primary line of watches for men and women. It’s famous and favored by people all over the world. Take it for granted that on the market, there are many replicas which are claiming to be authentic Chanel J12 ceramic watches. In fact, there are some methods for us to avoid them. Then how can we identify a fake Chanel J12 black ceramic watch?

Firstly, know the price point. We’d better to source enough information from Chanel’s official website or stores before buying. Most Chanel J12 ceramic watches cost about $4500 or more. It’s possible that they have a discount in a certain time, but if you are being offered a price too good to be true, then it may be a fake one.

Secondly, pay attention to the links in the watchband. Authentic Chanel J12 black ceramic watches have rivets on the links next to the clasp but none on other places of the links. If the watch you are buying has rivets on very link, probably it’s a replica.

Thirdly, look at the overall quality of the watch and the packing. If the ceramic or the case get stuffed easily, if the lettering or engraving looks sloppy, or the date number is horizontal, that could be fake. Real Chanel J12 black ceramic watch has a vertical date number. Moreover, authentic Chanel watches never come with plastic or cheep packing. So do check carefully the packaging if complete or in cheep quality.

Lastly, the most direct but effective way is to go to a Chanel store for full detailed information of Chanel J12 black ceramic watch and get well comparison. Or take to an authorized watch repair shop to verify the authenticity of the watch.

Be very careful and have every watched checked-out when buying a Chanel J12 black ceramic watch. To be a smart buyer, my advice is to have every detail double even triple checked. Don’t get yourself stuck with those high imitations.
