Marathon FKM rubber strap (smells like vanilla 😊).
The lug width on this one is 16mm with an overall width of 18mm for the strap.
You can use spring bars or slide out the fixed bars on your Marathon.
It works on the GP 34mm model but can be used on any watch with a 16mm lug. Came off a watch I bought. I like using a nylon RAF.
The marathon strap hole system is interesting. You punch through the hole you need to use. You can see that there are three punched through already.

Price is $29 via…

Anyone know when the GG-W-113 case transitioned from spring bars to fixed bars?
I believe it was some time just after 1971 but don't know what year.
Thanks.

It's a caller/office GMT.
