Heritage and MrZ are correct, that slot is usually called the "shelf." If your 5 digit has the shelf, then the newer SEL 6 digit bracelet should fit. I did it on my 2005 Kermit. Notice the slot/shelf in the case, and the extra machined part on the SEL. Heritage and MrZ's pics show the shelf well.

I saw another post from years ago that this did work, perhaps with different spring bars?

Close to 14 or so years ago I was able to source some 97200 glidelock clasps to put on my 5 digit watches (16610,16610LV, 14060, and 16710 GMT). Reason I did this was the "tuna can" clasp tore my wrist up as I needed to be able to adjust it during summer then winter - and the tuna clasps just didn;t work for me (sharp edges too). The 97200 gildelock clasps work perfect in these applications - easy install. And as others have said, with SEL bracelet 5 digit watches, the entire 97200 bracelet drops right in as well. I know it's not "traitional, but the improvement in "wearabilty" for me is huge

Correct. And also on. 16710, if the case was for SELs not sure about the older cases. I believe there does need to be a cut out lip on the bottom of the case between the lugs in order for the glide lock 97200 to fit properly. Just another WIS who loves to trade. @bladeandwatch1 on IG
