@Inkitatus @parechute - Went ahead with some of your insights.

  1. So, I've ordered a few from likely CN vendors to be shipped to MY. Its confusing to say the least so hopefully between the Single vs Butterfly I'll get something that works for me. 

  2. Butterfly ones are easier to spot.

  3. I have a tougher time figuring out the difference between the Single Fold/ Flip clasp, that work for "non-metal" straps - some of the metal strap types look similar and confused me. 

Any insights/ tips on that?

  1. On braided leather straps, (Was unable to find any example online),

  2. But I was wondering if some of the Deployant Clasps had more "thickness accommodating" attribues?

@Inkitatus - Thank you. I'll look up this type as per your suggestion.

Please just clarify one thing - Would this type work for all 3 of my watches?

The thick?? Aviator & variable thickness Braided Leather Polo strap?

@parechute - Thank you for responding. I currently do not have a US/ EU footprint but maybe next year.

Also, I just looked them up, its too expensive for now,

  • given that I may have "mismatching" straps and

  • do not have surety of what would work with each of these 3 watches/ straps

  • and work for me.

I am trying to learn and figure out the various Deployant Clasp types, that work for different types of Leather Straps based on material, width, thickness.

@Inkitatus - 1st and foremost thanks for responding. Previous had zero responses apparently after 200+ views.

Please guide this newbie a bit more 😄 - Muchos Gracias!

I intend to start with the cheaper variety until I know these things better as I am new to the watch wisdom & intricacies.

PS: Are you suggesting this for all 3 or for the Aviator?

Also, would the Omega type of Deployant Clasp be better for the Braided leather strap as well?

And what / how do I determine a way to attach a leather strap + deployant clasp to the Seiko Solar, given its odd sized narrow "attachment point" ? is this called Lug area?
