I imagine it is like steel end links where the angle the band approaches the case changes a bit depending on the radius to be fit. It's a symmetrical arc, so swinging it a tad places the center of the arc in the right place.
Try to find a seller with free returns on AliExpress so you can ask for a return/refund in case it doesn't fit. That's what I did when I blind bought rubber straps in the past, since they can't be as easily adjusted to fit most cases as hollow end links.
I rodered one from Amazon, for my Farer Resolute and/Or a cheap quartz diver. None of them fitted, the radius was okay but what I didn't imagine is the lug depth, my watch have too short lugs to fit. Good hunt, I hope you'll find the right one

Ah ha. A good point
I’ve tried a few aftermarket straps “designed “ to fit a particular watch to see if I liked the look/feel they were a bit of a struggle to get on and eventually the anxiety of a £10 strap sending a 5k watch to the deck was too much.
