fake iw371620
The fake IW371620 is a replica of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph ref. IW371620 — the 41 mm stainless steel watch with a blue dial and twin sub-registers. If you are shopping for one, expect a slim stepped case, a working chronograph layout that matches the reference, and a dial that captures the Portugieser's clean, legible look. This guide answers the practical questions first: what the watch does, what it is made of, and how it arrives.
Key Features
- 41 mm stainless steel case with the Portugieser's thin bezel and gently curved lugs
- Blue sunburst-finish dial with applied Arabic numerals and feuille hands
- Twin sub-dials at 12 and 6 o'clock, mirroring the reference layout
- Working chronograph pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock with start, stop, and reset
- Date aperture at 3 o'clock with a clean, correctly positioned cut-out
- Domed crystal with anti-reflective coating on the underside
- Exhibition caseback showing the decorated automatic movement
- Quick-release strap pins and a signed pin buckle
Materials and Specs
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and finished with a mix of polished and brushed surfaces that follow the original's lines. The dial is brass-based with a sunray blue finish, printed track, and applied markers, while the hands are polished and lume-free just like the reference. Inside, an automatic movement drives the hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph, and date, with a power reserve of roughly 40 hours when fully wound. The watch measures about 41 mm across and 13 mm thick and is fitted with a leather strap as standard.
Shipping and Returns
Orders are packed discreetly and dispatched with tracking, typically within a few business days, and delivery windows are confirmed at checkout. If the watch arrives with a fault or does not match the listing, returns and exchanges are accepted within the stated window — just keep the packaging and tags intact.
Does the chronograph on the fake IW371620 actually work?
Yes. The pushers start, stop, and reset the central chronograph seconds, and the 12 o'clock sub-dial counts elapsed minutes. Treat it like any mechanical chronograph: avoid resetting while it is running and keep it away from strong magnets.
How does it wear compared with the original?
At roughly 41 mm across and 13 mm thick, it sits on the wrist much like the genuine Portugieser Chronograph, and the curved lugs keep it comfortable on wrists from about 6.5 inches upward.
Is it water resistant enough for daily wear?
It is sealed against splashes, hand washing, and rain, but it should not be worn swimming or in the shower. If you wear it every day, have the gaskets checked once a year.
