Will an Oysterflex rubber strap fit on my 1680?

Anybody know?

You can get maybe an everest band to fit, not sure about an official oysterflex.

Yes, it would. It's 20mm, like the lugs on a 1680. However, the fit might be a little funky. The Oysterflex is made to fit on Rolexes with those end-link filler pieces, so you'd have quite a large gap between the end of the strap and the case. Also, sourcing an Oysterflex separately would be challenging.

I think it will fit but there will be a larger gap than on the 5 digit or 6 digit models. As I recall the 4 digit models have the lug holes slightly further away from the case than the newer models.
