    Does anyone know how to fix either of the above to the pre-bond seamaster watches?

    Yes get non bracelet springbats and attach. Most straps come with them. You can google videos on how to remove springbars.

    The pre-bonds have a bracelet to case arrangement similar to the Patek Nautilus. Any further bets?

    Forget it. Pre -bond seamasters have integrated bracelets, there's no way to use nato or leather straps.

    Thank you for that, The pre-bond does not employ lugs in the conventional sense; rather through-pins. Hence the difficulty

    Please do humour me. Why ask in the first place if you know how?

    I thought he is referring to pre Bond hands.

    What have hands got to do with nato straps?

    Not impossible, you could get a custom made leather strap, just forget the idea of fitting a nato.
    And please don't call me sir just yet.

    To see if anyone else knew. How else does one prove an innovation?

    Just so I have evidence that it's my idea. I did give you all fair warning. Eh? Dennis.

    By the way, a little recognition wold have been agreeable rather than all the "No You Can't" antisentimentality.

    Should any of you wish to repeat my innovation please contact me and I will do all I can to help.

    Dennis, I apologise. I am a Brit, for my sins and it seemed I was getting out of my depth. I thought I was onto a good thing with the 200m strap. Seems I was not so clever. Have a nice day...
