Owners + reviewers, side by side.
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners are divided on the AVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited Edition's design, with one calling it "horrible" and another a "very, very much more meticulous design" than previous iterations, though still considered too busy and large by some. The watch features an automatic movement with a 24-hour GMT function, a 42mm diameter, and a 16mm thickness. Owners express concern over the high resale prices, with one stating they would not pay 10,000 lira and another questioning the value at 33,000 lira for a limited edition from AVI-8 or Spinnaker. Overall, owners find the AVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited Edition to be a polarizing design with significant concerns regarding its perceived value at current resale prices.
The Decima Gatekeeper is praised for its hypnotizing dial, with design elements that draw comparisons to the Ingenieur and Czapek. Owners note the watch features a Miyota 9039 automatic movement, a 38mm case, and 50m water resistance. On balance, owners rate the Decima Gatekeeper highly for its striking dial design.
