I've had a GST Perpetual for 15 years - it's my #1 watch, I think

Salmon dial question
Dear friends, For years I’ve been a fan of salmon dials. Got myself a PP 5124 salmon dial earlier this year. I now have my sights set on an IWC GST Perpetual salmon dial. What do you guys think? Good watch, good dial combination? Would appreciate any thou...
A Salmon dail is almost allways a great choice imho 😉
I just love Salmon dails . The IWC GST with a Salmon dail is a very nice watch imo , i love the white and blue indicators with that Salmon dail . Never owned one so i cant tell you anything about that model , had some other IWC watches and allways enjoyed...

Just received my latest addition back from service...loving this watch! Some quick pics: Shot on the dark blue rubber strap: I prefer it on the bracelet, but it's nice to have options and the easy change system is so nice. What can I say...I would highly ...
thanks
Thank you sir...long time lurker and fan of your posts. This thread got me to post finally and share my beloved new salmon.
And here a timely article...
...just published on the topic of salmon dials. Looks like I am not the only one contemplating this unusual choice:
Welcome to the Ti GST Perpetual
Just to close the loop, thanks everyone for your input and advice. In the end, I succumbed to the high tech and comfortable feel of titanium. As much as I liked the salmon dial, I do feel the titanium is more representative of the best of IWC: one of the ...
Salmon? Salmon! Nah, it's 'copper'! The origin of 'salmon' dials was watchmakers' use of lacquered copper.
Copper was cheap, easily available, easy to work - cut, polish and paint - and, when lacquered, resisted oxidation. It also resembled gold! Over time, it moved up-market and became ... 'salmon' - a colour and not a material. I love it.
