Nato Strap for 16610 (SEL / No holes)

Hello,

I cannot find the parts to install a nato strap for my M serial 16610, I would like to change the look and use a nato strap for it. Would it be possible to do so ? Will it damage the inner hole openings if install spring bars?

Thank you in advance.

You don’t need any parts.

Remove bracelet- get any jeweller or competent friend if you’re not comfortable.
Refit the spring bars.
Fit your nato strap.
Enjoy.

Quiet content with the tactile look of the watch with the nato.

Thank you in advance.
all u need is a NATO strap....

1) remove current strap or bracelet
2) reinstall spring bars only to the lugs
3) thread NATO strap between case and spring bars

plenty of videos on youtube that show how to thread the NATO straps as there are several versions..Standard..single pass..velcro..stretch..

Hope this helps.
