Yes the dial feet are on 12 &42 but the movement is 28.4mm diam.and 8.5mm thick, and 2824 is 25.xxmm
Bear with me for just a few minutes. It might be that we can get you where you’re going a different way.
Buy an eta case for a date just and eta movement and hands for the case. Probably need the date wheel overlay too but you can get all of that for around $100. Put your crown, dial and bracelet from your current watch on it and your up and running. You could even put a genuine Swiss 2824 movement in it but that’s like $250. My favorite thing about the 2824 is that it can be repaired by any watchmaker around.

If you’re wrestling with that GMF SA3235, switching it out for a VR3235 might save you a headache, but heads up, you’ll probably need to mess with mounting screws and check the dial feet fit. If you’re stubbornly sticking to the SA, Aliexpress is your friend for parts—just keep an eye out for that funky “clover shock absorber” thing. Worst case, grab your calipers, measure that 28.4mm diameter, and see if a 3135 or another clone might fit. Clone movements always keep it interesting, don’t they? Good luck!

In fact it was a 3135 movement which was in the watch and GMF named it 3235 wrongly. Hence my mistake, I replaced it with a 3135 movement which I found in my boxes and I solved my problem .That's what I meant. Sorry if I misled anyone.
