Ploprof problem ''bezel''
Hello!I just arrive from China, now I'm in Russia. Las time, in Shanghai airport, not for the first time, I noticed that something was bad in the bezel of my Ploprof. I can turn the bezel, but sometimes it's hard. The first time, I said, no problem. But now... IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to turn it. Nearly fix. I think, something is bad under the bezel, some problem. I'm always traveling and this watch is always with me, looks like I should leave the watch some time in the spa.And just say one more thing, I DON'T KNOW WHY! when I put the watch under hot water, rotate the bezel one or to times... NO PROBLEM! I can use the bezel nearly for three hours, the bezel is working well, but after this time, fixed/blocked again.Any solution? Did anyone notice the same in their Ploprof?Best regards

New Basel Pepsi GMT X BLNR
Will the jubilee bracelet on the new SS Pepsi also fit the BLNR? If so, is the jubilee bracelet something that Rolex would (eventually) be willing to sell separately?
