Amazing,
I'm looking to order a strap too but a cheap one.
21mm will work?
Also, what method it used to fit it? Spring bars like rolexes?

Thanks

Nope buddy, aquanauts have pins integrated in the rubber - they insure the rubber ‘stick to the case’ and there is no gap - and spring bars. This is 20mm. The ‘68 green/blue is the only PP in 21mm lugs (that I know of)

Is gmt hand and date working?

Yes, everything is working. Except the buttons on the left hand side they are fake. You move the GMT hand by moving the hour hand anticlockwise. Date is set with a pusher on the right hand side (and then moves automatically)

I cut my strap too much, any way to stretch the rubber? I was thinking about maybe by using heat to do this but idk.

Awesome, will look forward to the comparison.
Always helpful to have side by side comprehensive analyses.

Thank you.

You'll need to order a new strap. I made the same mistake. Cut ONE by ONE, no matter how much longer it takes.

GR Factory is claiming a 324 movement in it? Anyone know if there is any truth in this?
