I've tried on Senator and Pano bracelets from that period before . . .

. . . but never with a Karree, to the best of my recollection, unless it was that very example in my photo from eight years ago. They are comfortable and well made, although not quite as adjustable as later production.
The problem I (and others) have experienced with the straps of these Karrees . . .
. . . is that the formed ends deteriorate after a while, rendering them not only unusable, but also potentially hazardous. While I'm not aware of any catastrophic failures in the field, it's not impossible. The special order short straps on mine, originally acquired at the end of '07, were at the end of their usefulness last year. Fortunately, I still had the original straps, but the fit isn't quite the same as before.
I may very well be acquiring a bracelet in the not-too-distant future.
