IWC 3707/3719

Hi Everyone,

I recently joined these watch forums, I am a long time IWC fan that recently made my first gen watch purchase which happened to be an IWC with a leather strap. I am now looking to purchase a replica IWC with a waterproof strap/bracelet.

I am very sorry as I am sure there have been others before me who have made threads about these watches. I've narrowed my search down to an IWC GST, but to my amazement, despite being listed on most of the trusted dealer websites, this watch seems to have been out of stock for years!

Now I was wondering does anyone know the story behind this? Am I right to understand the 3707 GST and 3719 Aquatimer use the same case? Has this model of Aquatimer replica also been out of production for years as the new Aquatimer has a bezel? If not, is it possible to "build" a replica IWC GST?

Lastly, I understand this is going to be the most annoying question of all => but does ANYONE know where I might be able to source a replica IWC GST 3707 of any kind, second hand or new?

Watch the sales threads for used 3707's or "selvin's" as they are called here. There have been some for sale recently, but they tend to be pricey and sell quickly.

yeh i noticed a pricey slevin for sale, i would be happy to pay that price if it had the bracelet. It's hard to imagine a real IWC slevin has depreciated, whilest a replica slevin has managed to appreciate
