I hope that happens soon - it's hard sitting on a watch fund bank account flush with cash and not buying something!!! And yes you and the rest guessed it - Rubber B. I saw a lightly one at 1/2 off and decided at that price it's worth trying out.

Just an FYI, the six digit Rolex models will put up one heck of a fight if you try to remove the bracelet.

Thanks for the heads up. I never removed my bracelet on the GMT yet. When I did for the first time with the 5 digit reference Explorer II it was a bit difficult so I can imagine. I need a good sprigbar pliers.

The Rubber B just arrived Getting the spring bars out was harder on the 6 digit reference than it had been in the past on the 5, but not intolerable. The screw on the clasp seemed frozen but soaking it in warm water loosened it up. Looks good and is very comfortable IMHO.
