I have had the Portugieser Chrono, Ref. 3714 and I always wished that IWC would offer that one on a bracelet as well because the 3714 is quite a sporty watch - in fact, it straddles the line between dressy and sporty better than most other watches.
I have seen the Chrono Ref 3716 on the bracelet in real life and it looks excellent (see picture taken from Twitter below)! In fact, if it had a higher power reserve and water resistance I would view it as a direct competitor to the Rolex Daytona (which I personally am not a fan of). Whether I will come to the same conclusion that the bracelet looks good on the Ref. 3583 simple three-hander here is not clear. Based on the pictures I doubt it as the watch is too dressy for a bracelet and it doesn't qualify as a dressy / sporty crossover given the limited water resistance of 3 bar. However, I would like to it in real life and I would not be completely surprised if I end up liking it.

From photos alone
I’m not sure I’m a fan. The protruding links aren’t it for me visually, and I can imagine them getting caught/scratched on stuff moreso than a more uniform design.
Subtraction by addition
I dislike it so much that just seeing it offered makes me think less of IWC! The Portuguese are great watches but they do NOT belong on bracelets.
