Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and finished with a mix of polished and brushed surfaces, matching the two-tone look of the original. The crystal is domed and treated to reduce glare, so the dial stays readable in daylight. Inside, an automatic chronograph movement drives the two counters and the central chronograph hand, and the pushers feel crisp with a clean reset. Lug width runs about 20 mm, which fits most standard straps, and the watch sits close to the wrist thanks to the slim case profile. As with most replicas, the dial printing and hand finishing are the details worth inspecting closely.
Orders ship within one to two business days and arrive in protective packaging. Tracking is provided, and returns are accepted within a set window if the watch arrives damaged or not as described. Contact support with photos and the team will arrange a replacement or refund.
Is the fake IW371717 comfortable for daily wear?
Yes. The slim 41 mm case and light leather strap keep it comfortable on most wrists, and it slides under a shirt cuff without catching.
How close is it to the original IWC Portugieser Chronograph?
Externally it matches the reference's proportions, dial layout, and finishing style; the movement architecture inside is the main difference.
What should I check when it arrives?
Look over the dial printing, sub-dial alignment, chronograph reset, and strap stitching, then confirm the timekeeping over the first few days.
