Owners are divided on the AVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited Edition's design, with one calling it "horrible" and not a collector's item, while another finds it more meticulous than previous models, though still too busy and large. The watch features an NH34 movement with a 24-hour GMT function, measuring 42mm in diameter and 16mm thick. Owners also question the high resale prices. On balance, owners express significant reservations about the design and value proposition of the AVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited Edition.
