    Well... While I don't love this watch in particular, there's alot of elements being brought to the table here that I absolutely love. The multi-dimensioned dial with the use of carbon fiber, the textured case sides, the continued application of the internal silver ring like the Ocean 2. I LOVE this sporty influx to the Steinhart "DNA". These new design elements are special, and I can't wait to see how you combine these uniquely done concepts in future pieces.

    Biggest negative is the loud bezel... But I imagine for the person involved in motor sports, it could be ideal.

    It's a revheads watch. No Doubt.

    Chronograph?!!! I'll definitely fall for this one! The subdials behind the prominent silver/SS hands looks like those meters behind a steering wheel. The chronograph hand is in red as well. So, when the chronograph is activated, the red hand moves, resembling racing in action. This is more close, when comes to relating the design to the racing theme.

    Actually, i don't really hate the design of the 3 handers. It's just that, the lines of the textured dial is not so prominent because it's as dark as the bezel. Even in close distance, another person standing beside the watch owner couldn't tell that the textured dial resembles the design of the tyre cover...

    Interesting chronograph, although I would have preferred the chrono buttons to be identical (for symmetry purposes). I wonder if the tachy bezel of the chrono and the tire one from the LMGT are interchangeable. With both bezels, one would be able tone down the "loudness" of the LMGT if so chosen... A win-win situation, so to speak.
    This being said, this motor sports-themed collection is awesome and off to a great start(coming from a watch and motor sports enthusiast)!

    Actually more like 6.5" which is a little closer to the average than 5". A search of this forum will show many posts of like-minded or like-wrist folks if you prefer, expressing the same concern about lug-to-lug and diameter. Sorry if your feathers got ruffled.

    I think Momo design might be able to pull it off, but I don't like this version of it.

    Good grief! Big fan of Steinhart and good to see some original designs coming through, but I think I'm nowhere near the market segment for this one so I think I'll pass...
