Prefacing this post to say that, while I've always liked watches, I've only recently gotten really into them. Also, I don't own anything nearly this expensive. The nicest piece I own is a Tag Formula One, which I love. That said, the Monaco is my holy grail. I happened by a luxury watch store the other day. I did a little window shopping, but had no intention of going in. Then I saw the Monaco and next thing I knew, I was trying it on. Pretty sure the salesperson knew right away I wouldn't be buying, but he still encouraged me to try it on and even take a picture. And now, I can't stop thinking about it. Some day. But not today.

I want to get a MoonSwatch and having trouble deciding between these two. I think the Earthphase is so unique but I also like the traditional, which is closest to the actual Speedy. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I recently restored this vintage (circa 1990) Swatch chronograph to working order after digging it out of a box of old stuff where it had been sitting for 30-odd years. It needed a band, so I bought a cheap rubber one on Amazon. The problem is that band barely fits my wrist. Can anyone suggest where I can find something nicer? It’s a 17mm band and IIRC the original was leather. Thanks!

Update - did some more Googling and this is a Swatch Chrono COLOSSAL SCB109 from approximately 1992. It did have a leather band originally.
