    I am thinking about buying a classic GST AT but I am not sure if I shall go for the steel or the titanium version, what do the forum members recommend?

    I generally prefer steel over

    titanium so no need to say more than best wishes for a wise choice.

    The............

    titanium is great if your prefer your watches to be on the lighter side on your wrist but if you prefer something a little heavier then the steel one fits the bill nicely. It really is down to personal choice - best if you can try both on your wrist before making your choice. Either way you will not be disappointed with this superb watch, destined to be a "classic"

    Without question Titanium >>>>

    Saves weight is hypo-allergenic, the metal wears well and has a great finish, feels great to the skin, is stealthy, does not react with chemicals easily, just a total positive.

    Titanium, for a "wicked" look - nice!

    I agree with Argiris, I generally prefer steel but in this particular case, I think titanium represents the best fit for this tool watch of timeless beauty.

    Steel because...

    the titanium version never had a white dial! Of course only 500 or so of the steel have the white dial (made for one year) but it is a beauty. As the others have noted, all of the Aquatimer GSTs are great and I am sure you would be happy with any of them.

    GST Aquatimer Titanium or Steel?

    I have both and they feel so different but if i had to choose i would go for the steel as the extra weight gives it a quality feel.

    Titanium

    Weight (and in titanium it weights enough), feel (super to the skin), looks (a bit more stealthy, not so shiny, fitting for a tool watch). It's a winner on all aspects to me.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing Portuguese Perpetual Calendar

    Titanium by a slim margin...

    I love both metals for the watch, but have a slight leaning toward the Titanium for many of the same reasons others have given.

    One additional advantage to the Titanium is the remarkable resistant of this watch to wear! The Ti versions of the 3536 and 3227 share the most rugged finish I've ever encountered.

    Then there's the true reason... a Ti 3536 was my first IWC love.

    (My apologies for sharing the same old image. I really need to take some new pictures!)
    Best regards,
    Bob
