In love with this gorgeous aged calf reissue with SHW. It's beautiful but I wish it had a working turn lock. 
Okay guys I would love some advice. Today I purchased my first ever Chanel piece! It is a beautiful black lamb skin woc with gold hardware. While I was shopping I also had the pleasure of looking at a black braided chevron boy woc with ruthenium hardware. I loved both and am now wondering if I made the right choice. Opinions??
Here's some eye candy the boy woc almost looks metallic with the flash on but in person the color is a normal black.

Holy cow! The classic woc is always a winner but that braided boy woc made my jaw drop! IMO you can always get the lambskin one as it's a staple you can find in any season, but I'd go for the boy as it's a limited piece- and head turner to boot!
I really like the versatility and price point of this piece and was tempted to get it myself. But it doesn't work for me because as a bag its too small, as a wallet its too large (since I only use small wallets/card holders) and as a clutch it's too casual with the exposed zippers (since I only carry clutches to more formal events), so I passed. It is a really great and versatile piece so if it works for you, I see no reason not to keep it. GLD
Just fyi, as of earlier today, Hirshleifers in NY has one spot open on their pre-order list for a classic black caviar WOC silver hardware. $2100. They require up front payment. No tax if you live outside NY. Free ground shipping. No returns, just store credit. Delivery expected anytime from next week to early April though my experience has been that items show up earlier rather than later. Hope this helps someone!
I love them both and I love WOC's (I have 4 currently with one more on the way for Valentine's Day). I saw the black braided one in person and it is stunning. It also comes in this season's red (with orange undertones). I think the braided version is just a teeny bit busy for such a small bag, though it is a beauty. This is just my opinion, so you should get what you love. The classic is fabulous and will never look dated, imo. Good luck deciding!!!! If I didn't have any restraint, I would probably have 100 WOC's!

+1!
I love them. I have two but pre-ordered my third from Hirsh last week in classic black caviar shw. For years, I've said I didn't need the classic black shw and that I could get by without it but, after about the 50th time of wishing i had one to complete an outfit, I finally caved and ordered it lol.
I have been on a waitlist forever for that exact woc. It will be my third too and I feel the same way. I have it with the gold hw and at least 50 times I have wished I had the silver!
Funny, when I got the gold, there was silver hw everywhere! I waited a long time for the gold & now I'm wishing I had grabbed the silver while I had the chance. Lesson learned!
