AVI-8 Sabiha Gökçen 24-Hour Automatic Limited EditionvsLongines LA GRANDE CLASSIQUE DE LONGINES

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.

Owners widely praise LA GRANDE CLASSIQUE DE LONGINES for its extreme thinness, slim profile, and elegant, discreet design, making it exceptionally comfortable and almost unnoticeable on the wrist. The quartz version is noted for its reliability and "grab and go" convenience, while the automatic is considered a slim, dressy piece. Pre-owned prices for the quartz model range from $300 to $600, significantly lower than its $1650 retail. Some owners find the styling and Roman numerals appealing, and the bracelet is described as comfortable. One owner advises against gold plating due to potential wear, suggesting steel or solid gold instead. Discussions also arise regarding battery life in the quartz models, with one owner reporting a battery failure within months of replacement. Overall, owners rate LA GRANDE CLASSIQUE DE LONGINES highly for its elegant, thin design and comfortable wearability at its pre-owned price point.
