    I've been coveting the Titanium Ref 3756 GST (The "T" in GST) Perpetual
    Calendar for some years now. The ones I've seen listed seemed to require me to
    'compromise ' like 'no box, no papers' or
    'condition issues' or 'non-English dial', location, etc...

    Last FRI morning, I was at my local coffee shop just looking at emails and
    astonished!! A dealer I know very well in Boston (where I had bought my
    Salmon Steel GST Perpetual 21 years ago had one that JUST ARRIVED and the
    photos were unbelievable. Watch was serviced by IWC only 19 months ago, and it
    was in impeccable, unworn condition and had box, papers, service records,
    tools, all links and hang tags, etc. I put an appointment on my calendar to
    call the dealer
    at 10:01am, a minute after they opened and cut the deal - and FedEx made
    delivery attempt on SAT morning, while I was out for just 15 mins on a routine
    errand with my family...so I had to wait all weekend until MON.

    Well, here it is with it's "Big Brother".

    Now that really is one helluva sports watch. Huge congratulations, Richard, I
    too greatly admire both of these GST perpetuals - just amzing!!! Add a black
    rubber starp and you have a couple more awesome watches. Also love the
    original, simple and secure strap exchange system.

    Yes, Rich, Yes! Those GST models you have are super great. Congratulations.

    Now, you must add the Split Minute, don't you think?

    I love watches from this era too - they ooze purpose and IWC engineering
    prowess.

    What can I say? I can talk about this watch forever. Taking the Da vinci
    perpetual calendar module and putting it into a strongbox sporty titanium case
    was on another level. Almost 20 years since it was released there really isn't
    a better sports perpetual calendar out there. It has all the hallmarks which
    made IWC great back then ( titanium case, da Vinci perpetual movement,
    aquatiimer case, quick change bracelet). It's also one of the most fun watches
    every Dec 31st when the year changes. In addition it's got one of the nicest
    moonphases ever made with the starry night sky. A fantastic preowned value
    proposition as well. Iwc do not make anything near as good these days, and
    when they do it's an exorbitant retail price. I had the steel versions but
    something deep down was saying I needed this titanium version as it most
    repreeented what a sporty perpetual calendar should be. A keeper for sure
