Rubber B straps for RO...
Not sure if this is common news but Rubber B is now carrying rubber straps for the Royal Oaks. I'm not sure what to make of it...on one hand it's cool to have the extra option but on the other, the RO is all about the bracelet and since it's not water resistant the rubber strap doesn't make as much sense.Anyone have one or plan to try one?

Sent my 15300 off to Clearwater today...
No, not having any problems! Just getting the the third-year warranty extension service out of the way. It's been my mainstay for work wear since I picked it up. We'll see if it is absence makes the heart grow fonder or out of sight out of mind.

BLNR rejection at AD
Whilst visiting my local AD today I witnessed a customer who had arrived at the dealer after getting the call that his new Rolex GMT BLNR had just arrived! Whilst he was left alone for a few minutes to look at the BLNR in more detail I took the opportunity to make comment on the watch.

Will the Oyster Perpetual 36 Blue be discontinued?
Long shot, but does anyone know if the Oyster Pereptual 36 Blue (116000 - with the 3-6-9 Arabic numerals) will be discontinued after Baselworld 2018?I'm waiting until after Baselworld April 2018 to buy the watch (in case there's something I like more that comes out during Baselworld), but if it might be discontinued then I might just buy it now...A salesperson at a boutique told me that it might be discontinued, since it's the only color of the OP36 that wasn't 'upgraded' to sticks instead of 3-6-9 Arabic numerals in 2014...Thanks!
