I'm partial to the first one (the zipper) after seeing it in person, but they're both gorg! Note with the first one, it has a magnet under the flap, the zipper is only to a smaller inside pocket.
Are they both the same leather or is the first version more pebbled?

OP, this isn't true. Both the turnlock and the classic q versions have a zippered compartment and a compartment that closes with a hidden magnet. It's not one or the other.
I personally prefer the turnlock version because the the leather isn't pebbled and looks more luxe (IMHO). Also, the big workwear tag on the classic q version is a bit distracting. Newsprint is a nice color, but keep in mind that it has a significant amount of olive green. It is not a true grey by any means. It's true that the turnlock leather is thinner, but the thickness isn't problematic.
I've never seen the second one in person, so I didn't know that was the case. Was basing it off seeing the first one at Bloomies and deciding between it and a Hillier.
I ordered the first one yesterday
