Yes it should fit, they are the same case I believe (small differences in thickness but the overall shape is the same).

It will probably fit. The 116610 uses specific spring-bars that have larger diameter pivots, so you must use the 16610 spring bars or risk rounding out the lug-holes with the smaller pivots installed.

Of course, the Subc spring bars will not fit the GMTc because of this.

You can use the bracelet but will need different types of spring bars. The sub bracelet uses 2mm thick while the GMTc has 1.8mm spring bars

I think it should fit but as henrylee mentioned, the springbars should be changed
