The fake iw371471 is a replica of the Portugieser-style chronograph: a 40.9 mm stainless steel case, a silver-plated dial with twin sub-dials, and thin leaf-shaped hands. If you have been comparing this reference against authentic listings, the short answer is that a well-made replica gets the silhouette, dial layout and strap proportions right, while the differences sit mostly in the movement, the crystal and the finishing under a loupe.
What should you check first?
Check the dial layout before anything else. The sub-dials should sit at 12 and 6, the hands should be slim and slightly curved near the tip, and the printed minute track should be crisp and evenly spaced. Crooked sub-dial hands or a washed-out silver dial are the two fastest giveaways on cheaper builds.

Materials and specifications
Cases are usually 316L stainless steel, polished on the sides and lightly brushed on the caseback, which keeps the watch comfortable at roughly 12 to 13 mm thick. The strap is generally calf leather with a soft lining. Automatic versions run a Chinese chronograph movement with a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a power reserve of about 36 to 40 hours, while quartz versions are thinner, lighter and need a battery change every couple of years. Both take standard 20 mm straps, so swapping to a mesh bracelet or a rally strap is straightforward.
How does it wear day to day?
At 40.9 mm with a slim bezel it wears like a dress watch but still slips under a shirt cuff, and the silver dial reads clearly indoors and out. It suits office wear, dinners and weekend travel equally well.
