Index Fingers: Only 1/5 For Difficulty And Yet Magnificent!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
The one and only Marty Sears has come up with something quite wonderful (and ludicrous): Index Fingers - where the fingers do actually index digits in the grid!! It's only 1/5 for difficulty but don't think it's trivial - the logic is still lovely and the whole thing will put you in a good mood :)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply. (Place the digits 1 to 6, once each, into every row, column and 2x3 bold-outlined rectangle).
Each finger has lost its gold ring! Can you find them? Every row, column and box contains one gold ring, and none of them are located on a finger. Each gold ring contains a different digit.
The digits ABC along a finger, reading towards the fingertip (the C goes on the fingernail), indicates that row A column B contains that finger's missing gold ring, which contains the digit C.
