fake iw371771 | 1:1 Replica IWC Portuguese Chronograph Guide
The fake iw371771 is a high-grade 1:1 replica of the IWC Portuguese Chronograph ref. IW3717, one of the cleanest and most collected chronographs in the modern IWC line-up. This version is built for people who love the look of the Portuguese — the wide silvered dial, the slim leaf hands, the twin sub-dials at 6 and 12 — but want an everyday watch they can actually wear without worrying. From arm's length it reads like the real thing; up close it holds its own on finishing, proportions and dial printing.
Key Features
- 41 mm stainless steel case with the correct Portuguese case profile and polished bezel
- Silver-plated dial with applied Arabic numerals and faceted leaf-shaped hands
- Working chronograph with running seconds at 6 and elapsed minutes at 12
- Anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a display caseback over the movement
- Signed crown and pump pushers finished to match the original shape
- Hand-stitched alligator-grain calfskin strap with a steel pin buckle
- Water resistance rated for everyday splashes and rain
Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and hand-polished, giving the same soft lustre as the genuine article rather than the harsh shine you see on cheaper replicas. The dial is a silvered white with crisp black printing, and the numerals are applied and polished, not painted on. Inside is a self-winding chronograph movement based on the proven 7750 architecture, finished with a decorated rotor and visible through the sapphire caseback. The crystal is sapphire with an inner anti-reflective coating, and the watch runs at roughly 41 mm across and 12.5 mm thick — the proportions that make the Portuguese so wearable on a mid-size wrist.
Shipping and Returns
Orders ship in plain, discreet packaging with tracking provided, and most destinations arrive within one to three weeks depending on location. If the watch is not right for you, returns are accepted within the stated window provided it comes back unworn with its protective films intact.
Does the fake iw371771 look like the genuine watch?
Yes — case proportions, dial layout, numeral style and hand shape all follow the original closely, so the silhouette and legibility match at a glance.
Is the chronograph actually functional?
It is. The pushers start, stop and reset the chronograph properly, and the sub-dials track real elapsed time rather than being decorative.
How does it wear on the wrist?
At 41 mm with a slim bezel it wears like a dress chronograph — comfortable under a cuff, but large enough to read easily.
