 Stumbled upon this Ritmo Indycar chrono and felt that it had a sporty look that my watch drawer currently lacks.  It's a well-kept secret that SBD is a bit of a car nut (I've got other forums I troll for this addiction) so this watch had instant appeal for me.  Indy isn't my favorite form of racing (though I do enjoy an occasional race...and Danica ain't bad either), but I like everything else about the design.

The 22mm tire-tread rubber strap is appropriate, but I'd like to replace it with something black with red stitching.  If you got any ideas, post them up!  I don't care if it's leather, rubber, ostrich, gator, sailcloth, or whatever.  If you think it would look sporty with this, feel free!

And now, my meager pix:

















movement:  Swiss Ronda 5040B

case:  46.5 mm steal

dial:  real carbon fiber with inset subdials

crystal:  not sure, but I see purple AR treatment at certain angles

lugs:  22mm
