fake iw371770 | Portugieser-Style Chronograph Guide
The fake IW371770 is a replica of the Portugieser-style chronograph, and it stays one of the most requested references in our catalog. Most buyers are chasing the same three things: the classic 41 mm case proportions, the clean two-counter dial, and a wrist presence that still feels convincing up close. This short guide covers what to check before you order.
Key Features
- 41 mm stainless steel case with slim lugs and a polished, low-profile bezel

- Automatic chronograph movement with running seconds and a 30-minute totalizer
- Exhibition caseback showing a decorated rotor on select variants
- Leather strap with a signed-style pin buckle, quick to swap for a mesh or NATO band

Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and finished with a mix of brushed flanks and polished edges, which is what gives the watch its bright, dressy look on the wrist. The dial sits under a domed crystal, and the printing on the numerals and minute track is pad-applied rather than decaled, so it holds a sharp edge. Inside, the automatic chronograph movement runs at a smooth sweep and uses a pusher layout that matches the original: start-stop at two o'clock, reset at four. The strap is genuine leather with a soft lining, and it tapers toward the buckle so the watch sits flat rather than sliding around.
Shipping and Returns
Orders are packed discreetly and dispatched within a few business days, with tracked delivery and a confirmation number as soon as the parcel moves. If the watch arrives with a fault or does not match the listing, contact us within the return window and we will arrange a replacement or a refund.
Is the fake IW371770 the same size as the original?
Yes. It uses the same 41 mm case diameter and roughly 13 mm thickness, so it wears identically on the wrist and takes the same 20 mm straps.
How close is the dial to the genuine piece?
The layout, numeral font and subdial positions are matched closely. At arm's length the difference is minimal; under a loupe, minor finishing variations are normal on any replica.
Does it arrive with a box and papers?
It ships in a protective presentation box with a warranty card from our workshop. Original manufacturer packaging is not included.
