Splurge vs Steal - Watches

Ok, I’ve seen Chanel’s J12 limited-edition Joaillerie series and I just can’t help but admire it’s timeless design and luxurious detail. Yeah, this J12 pink sapphire watch(H1696) white gold, ceramic, pink sapphires/diamonds has a hefty price tag of $10k plus! Yet, the one on the right, GUESS by Marciano - U13512L1 (White Metal Bracelet/White Metal Case/Mother Of Pearl Dial) - Jewelry at $139 is just a fraction of the Chanel J12 cost.
I think the Guess watch has major bang for the buck with beautifully laid pink Swarovski crystals, iridescent mother-of-pearl dial and is also water resistant. A very well constructed everyday watch that is ultra chic…how can you not love those sparkly pink crystals! I sure do appreciate Chanel’s exquisite workmanship put into their timepieces but please! The Guess watch is a real look-a-like and affordable without being a complete cheap knockoff.
