Hi ladies! '
Does anyone have the 17C boy in black caviar with GHW (A67086 Y61169)? If so, is the GWH a brushed/matte gold? Does it have small parts where it's almost silver?

I just purchased the 17A (67086 Y33062), only my second Chanel so I am unfamiliar with seasonal differences and boys in general. My chain is a brushed/matte gold and has some small parts where it's almost silver. I am not entirely sure if like that. Also, the caviar is quite matte. I wonder if the 17C caviar is shinier?

It's hard to say because I don't have both bags side by side but it looks very similar to the 17C boy that I have.

The link below is to my reveal thread where I have pictures and they look almost identical. In terms of shine, mine is fairly matte and will only shine a bit in photos depending on the light. The hardware looks almost the same although I don't have any silver spots on mine, it's pretty uniformly gold. Although I did receive pictures of other 17C boys I was offered with the GHW and they definitely had parts where it looked silver with no gold on it. May be part of the "antiqued" finish.

The reveal thread post was very helpful, especially being able to see such distinct differences in caviar. I think the my 17A and your 17C caviar are similar--the grains on the 17A appears to be smaller and the leather looks more matte? I think your 17C chain looks uniformly gold than my 17A.

I just saw some photos of the 17P black caviar boy, I too am not a fan of super shiny caviar on boys (but it works on my classic flap, I think).

Looking at the 17P vs 17C black caviar boy thread (https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/17p-vs-17c-black-caviar-boys.958823/), there is something about the 17C caviar that I like more than the 17A (larger grain?).

Although I am guessing a 17C black caviar boy is unavailable by now.
