I agree with others...
The watch can be saved, but the cost may be quite high. I had an Ocean 2000 that was also out of service for almost 15 years and then became waterlogged last year above 2,000m (another story) and now it is better than new. But the cost was rather prohibitive. In addition, I also lost the patina of the tritium dial because of water damage.
GST - Deep One - Possible to save?
Wish me luck! I am going to try to save this watch, one of my old favourites. This is the IWC - GST - Deep One IW3527, and was one of IWC’s best ideas. I bought this in 2000 when I was really into scuba diving, planning all my free time around my obsessio...
The Deep One is a great looking sports watch.
Thanks for telling your story and I hope that Schaffhausen can work their magic for you! Please do keep us updated. All the best, Jon
Most watches can be fixed
Although cost and how much of the original may be kept are definitely considerations. Sorry to hear about the water ingress, I generally get watches serviced every 5 years for the ones I take in the water. Looking forward to reading your updates!
Well, even some which were issued in 1999 / 2000 had an issue about the depth gauge... They will certainly solve your water resistance issue, and the watch will give you the time,
But I am curious to see if they will solve the depth gauge issue! Keep us posted, mon ami. Best, Nicolas
That´s a bad ass watch.
Hope they get it working again. Super cool with a beaten up dial, and just have it tell time and some kind of WR. Enjoy!
Sad to hear that it never worked...
I had this beauty but never take it into the water. Good luck with the service. I am sure it can be fixed, asides from the depth gauge as pointed out by Nicolas, but at what price?
Good luck!
It's a fantastically cool and unique watch, and you've owned it for 25 years... time to pay the piper I'm afraid!

Looking forward to hearing what IWC does with this neat watch.
Sorry about the water, etc. It's a grand ole watch of 25 years.

I'm sure the IWC will make a full overhaul and make it new again. But it will cost. I'm very interested in the total sum so please keep us informed. BTW, one of the, if not the greatest IWC dive watch they have ever made. Along with Ocean2000. Spectacular...
