SwitchResX might be able to do this!
On my G3600 iMac it does not list 1680x1050 as one of the supported resolutions (because of course I don't have a display connected that uses that res and the built in screen wont handle it) but it will let me create a custom profile with those settings for an external display.
Download it and try it for yourself!

FWIW I was able to change the resolution on the built in monitor to 1280 x 1024 which is NOT a supported resolution using the Apple software!
