Looking for a fake IW329173 that captures the tool-watch presence of IWC's dive line without the boutique outlay? This replica reproduces the 42 mm Aquatimer silhouette, complete with an internal rotating bezel, bold lume, and a dial that stays readable in a glance. Below is what ships, what it is built from, and how we handle delivery and returns.

Materials and Specifications
The case is turned from 316L stainless steel, the grade most mid-range dive watches use because it resists corrosion and holds a crisp edge. The crystal is sapphire, so it shrugs off desk scratches far better than mineral glass, and the dial and bezel are finished with a long-glowing lume compound that charges quickly under indoor light. Inside sits an automatic movement wound by wrist motion, with a power reserve that carries it through a weekend off the wrist. The strap is soft vulcanised rubber that stays supple in cold weather and rinses clean. Note the limits: the crown and case back seal against splashes and rain, but this is not a certified dive instrument, so keep it out of the pool, shower, and sea.
Shipping and Returns
Orders leave the warehouse within one to two business days and travel tracked, discreetly packaged, and insured against loss in transit. Every piece is photographed before it is boxed, so you can compare what arrives with what was sent. If a watch turns up damaged or stops running within the return window, contact us and we will arrange a repair, a replacement, or a refund.
Does the fake IW329173 keep accurate time?
Yes. Each automatic movement is regulated before shipping and generally holds within a few seconds a day, which is normal for a mechanical watch at this level.
Can I swim with this replica?
We rate it for splashes, rain, and hand washing only. The seals are not tested to dive-watch standards, so swimming and diving are not covered.
How close is it to the genuine IWC Aquatimer?
The case size, bezel layout, and dial proportions are matched closely enough that it wears the same way on the wrist. It is a replica, not an original, and is not sold as genuine.
