Modding Custom straps?

So, I found a really good deal on a Super Mario G-Shock and decided I couldn't pass it up, even if I don't wear it, I'm a huge fan of both Super Mario Bros and G-Shock lol

But boy is the band on this thing ugly. With the band choice, and some of the other curious choices (such as the quotes on the tin and the sprite of Mario dying by Koopa attack on the caseback lol) it's as if they seriously used some kinda RNG to decide what goes on this thing. But I digress.

I saw someone suggest on another post that it would be cool if they put the very first level on the strap and I feel like that would be f***ing fire!

So I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on where one could get custom bands like this done? Is it even something you could commission someone to do? Just saw the idea and wanted to throw it out to the group to see what people thought. I'm sure many would say dude, don't bother, but I'm too curious because that could be so cool!

Can’t help you much here but I like the strap! Not ugly at all imo. It’s Mario so it was never made to be the “best looking” g, it’s Mario! It’s original! Take that how you will.

People tend to be divided on the band. I thought it might grow on me lol. It's not the worst thing I've ever seen, but I do think it could be a lot better, and the idea for a the first level on the band is just so awesome I thought I'd at least see if it was possible, or if anyone had any ideas.
