Thanks Tom. I felt the red needed to be toned down a bit so thought I'd try the RB2 strap. But yeah the red rubber works just as well

Don't blame you at all! It's pretty loud with the bright red dial - I figure I would probably go the full distance and go all red.

Personally, I'm loving the personality change I've given my Jarno Trulli with the red rubber!

I think it will also look good on a white rubber strap.

I had this on yesterday but opted for the RB2 strap instead. You're right Ben, it does look pretty good on a white strap.
