Thanks Kurt. From your lips to God’s ears!
In 25 years, I’ll be 89. May not last that long, but the watch will still be showing the correct time, month, day of the month, year and corresponding moon phase! May be too large for my daughters’ tastes, but a son-in-law will certainly appreciate it!
25 Years of Ownership and Still my Favorite IWC (and Watch)
The perpetual calendar mechanism is brilliant and the stealth look of the GST Perpetual watch makes it the perfect watch for casual wear, with a suit for business and even with a tuxedo. I can’t imagine a better all-purpose, all-around, good looking watch...
Thanks Marc. I agree. It also really looks terrific in titanium!
I had the titanium version at one time but decided I didn’t need two GST perpetuals. To this day I still regret selling it. ...

So good to know you're enjoying your beautiful GST Perpetual
Sadly, none of my three PC's had worked properly in the years I had them. But, my GST titanium was my favorite... 👍 ...
Why weren’t they working properly? I’m curious.
What was wrong with them? Why was IWC unable to repair them correctly?
I owned them at different times...
And all three malfunctioned in different ways. I don't remember which did what but they all went for service more than once and came back with a different malfunction. The only one I remember was the white gold PPC's year indicator did not turn on Decembe...
I can well understand why you like this watch so much.
I have the titanium version and I love it too. It’s not as versatile as the steel versions, but the more sporty look is fine for my use case. My watch also managed the jump to 1 March overnight and all seems well with it. A relief! All the best, Jon
A swap programme sounds like a good idea!
No, no winder. I only have 10 watches and I wear a couple a week so I never have to cycle through too many days. Also, when I am selecting a watch from my watch box I give it a wind so that it can advance a couple of days while sat in the box.
Really nice🔥
What do you think about the relatively new perpetual that they came out with that doesn’t have to be reset for like 3500 years? I think the layout is similar. IWC does some nice PCs.
Great looking watch, Rob, love the gray and silver colorway !
It's great that you found your favorite watch 25 years ago. Mine has been much more elusive!
