Hi, I've seen that the stainless steel version of the GST is still listed as available from a couple of dealers on here, anyone know if this is true - I thought they were long gone? I have a titanium version that needs a new crown, pusher and clasp (or repair to clasp) and could use a steel version for spares (or anyone got a non-working one I could cannibalise - it's only external/case parts I want, not the movement). I'm not looking to pass it off as gen, I just like it as a watch design so sandblasting steel parts would be fine for me. Even tatty examples would be good for me as it was an all-day everyday wearer for me for a few years, not pristine! I am aware that the answer to all the above is probably still "no" but thought I'd try anyway. :-)

Hi, If it's just a single link you want, I think i could be persuaded to part with one. You're lucky I have a narrow wrist! I'm UK based, by the way.

Hi All, I've lost the start/stop stopwatch pusher on my beloved GST Titanium and I was wondering if anyone has a non-working GST in spares/repairs condition that I could buy to cannibalise parts from? Or do any of the dealers have access to factory parts bins (I assume not)? My watch is a daily wearer (all day, every day, very heavy use) so I'm not worried about scratches or pristine condition, I'd even be interested in the stainless steel version just to get a pusher to screw back on. I never try to pass it off as genuine, I just love the style of this watch. Dunno if there was ever a lower quality quartz rep that used the same case but if so I'd be interested. Cheers.

IWC GST Ti, sent to Ziggi for service from new. He found it filthy and gummed up with all sorts of muck. Since the service.... I wear it all day, every day, working in the garden, chopping wood, everything. I last wound it over 5 weeks ago and set it to the second against a radio-controlled (to the atomic time signal) clock and it is currently within a second of that clock! The most I've seen it out in all that time is 14 seconds fast (after a day not wearing/winding it). I think the fast/slow errors are cancelling each other out but I check it twice a week and it's been within a couple of seconds nearly every time. I'm astonished by the accuracy Ziggi has found and hope it keeps it up - I may never have to adjust it again!

Yes, I'm with you on that one, the Mk 15 is just a watch, pure and simple.

Well I think it's very selfish of them, behaving like a watch company and all Think I'm pretty safe actually. They don't have enough chunky, shiny or twiddly bits in their designs to get really mainstream.

Went to see the Harrison Ford film "Firewall" last night and there was a gratuitous fullscreen closeup of a black-face IWC at some stage. I'm a newbie so can't tell you which model but as usual with IWC, a lovely clean and simple design. One of the pilot-y ones. Hope this isn't the start of a big media campaign to make IWC trendy. I like to think that my GST Ti rep shows me as the kind of sleazy ne'er-do-well who tries to pass himself off as sophisticated european millionaire, not the kind of sleazy ne'er-do-well who tries to pass himself off as some ghastly nouveau-riche millionaire. Before anyone starts, I'm not passing anything off as real. I love the watch, that's all. If I wanted to lie about it I'd have chosen a rep that someone (other than you lot on here of course) might actually recognise...
