Everest leather straps and lug gap tolerances...

Can someone with hands on experience with an Everest leather strap (that mounts flush with the watch head) tell me if there’s much difference in the ends. Basically, does it really matter if you get one that is designed for your specific model or is the lug gap different enough to make it not fit right?

A guy if offering me one for my 1680 for a good price, but it’s for a 16570. Would it fit?

... to me, even if it is free, I would never put any part on my watch that is not specifically design for the model.

I get it. But it’s leather, so I’m not expecting it to damage it somehow. What I really want to know is if there’s really a difference or are there just a few different ones to accommodate for dramatically different case shapes.
