Does anyone own the new version of the classic caviar WOC with turn lock closure? Just watched a You Tube review of it, and it looks exactly like the classic, but the CC is just a smidge larger to accommodate the turnlock. If anyone owns, could you please provide feedback on it? TIA

Same I sold my Chanel WOC and I never looked back
Scored this velvet, pearl, diamond woc off of Fashionphile for a decent price. I figured this could be nice for dressier events.
I went to two boutiques last weekend (US), and they all had multiple black WOCs with gold and silver hardware. My local NM also regularly gets them. The retail price is $3,350.Hi everyone! If I randomly walked into a Chanel store (most likely in NYC) and asked for a classic black woc, would they likely have it for me? Also, what is retail right now?
Thank you for any advice
I’m curious about the new turn lock woc also! It says it’s part of the rev collection now. Has anyone seen them in stores? Or is still the magnetic versions mostly?
I've not seen the turn lock WOC in person yet. As someone who tends to stuff it quite full, yes I use it as a BAG, I am worried about stretching out the lock. Hear me out. I have had turn lock purses in the past and it would get to the age or the leather would stretch over time and if I did not put in enough to fill out the bag, almost as if the contents had to put some stabliziler impact on the lock from the inside, I had trouble turning the closure. But I may be overthinking this, a WOC is not large no matter how much I can fit into it.
Hence my personal apprehension of the turn lock version...but yes I still want to see one and try it!

Oo interesting point!
Do you have a magnetic close woc? I’ve only had snap closure ones.
I did ask my NM SA if they have any turn lock ones but said she has not seen it yet.
I have the magnetic closure now, which I prefer to the snap closure as that was cumbersome to close with one hand when in a hurry, and yes when it was stuffed.
Again, I may be overthinking this worry about the turn lock. I use my bags, and am in and out of them throughout the day, more so when out and about. I baby them, yet stuff them. I believe I use them more in a day than the average person.
When I saw this post on the "Celebrities and Chanel" thread on Saturday, I noticed how Princess Kate was holding her square, and there couldn't have been much in it as it was pressed inward. Could be the light on the leather, but I immediately thought of how I've had trouble when I try to use a turn-lock when the contents are slimmer - after I've had it stuffed full for most of it's life. I found this more with smaller bags than larger bags, but probably my fault for trying to carry the SAME CONTENTS despite the size of the bag. I admit it has been years since I last had this problem.
Here is the link, and attaching the picture I copied for reference just in case.
Has anyone else ever had a problem with their larger Chanel turn locks???

I initially liked the idea of the turn lock, but after some thought, I decided that a magnetic closure for something as small as WOC is more practical. Even on classics, it requires a step to open/close the lock; I imagined dealing with a tiny version of it - nope, thanks
For folks interested in the Woc turn lock.... Mine is from 24S (?) I think, not caviar though. I really like it and the open / close mechanism doesn't bother me. My favorite part is actually the acrylic metal handle. Hope this helps! Here's a picture:
