Here you go! Your band is adapted and assembled to your swatch.

Advise: Buy a good band with good thickness at the fulcrum, otherwise it may be weakened excessively by the cutting.

Good luck with battling the programmed obsolescence!

I have a swatch watch band that has print one each side of the watch that are broken but not broken all the way through is there a glue or epoxy I can use to preserve the original bands with the print on the front?
