If I wanted to put an SEL band on my 1680 which one would fit best?

No, the spring bar placement on the lugs are different on the SEL versions.

Well I know it can be done because I saw a 1680 with an SEL beracelet, I just can't remember which version it was.

I think a 93250 will fit on a 1680...

If you do not have a machined ledge on the backside of the case, between the lugs, no SEL will fit.

That machined ledge locates the back of the SEL link.

As Tools mentioned, it won't work. I tried to fit a SEL bracelet on a Submariner 1680 several years ago for someone and once the end links were fit to the case with the spring bars, the end links just spun around.

Good news and bad news.

Bad news is it won’t fit.

Good news is it won’t fit.
