Your Rolex on Rubber B?
I received my 116710LN last month from RSC. At one point, I have considered trading up for a pepsi but just could'nt see myself without this one. Finally found the time over the holidays to place it back on a Rubber B band and ... am sticking with this simplest of the Rolex GMTIIc's. Eager to see your Rolex on the Rubber bands. thanks.

Here it is on an OP41. The fit is seamless and quality seems really good so far.

Just curious if your Rolex Boutique/AD offers to change the Rubber B strap for you?

I bought the band directly from Rubber B and when I brought it to Tourneau (Rolex AD), they would not install it as it is not a genuine Rolex part. I know the thought of changing straps can be nerve-racking, it was straightforward in the end as long as you have the right tools. If your AD sells the strap, then they may change the strap as well. Not sure about other folks' experience with their AD requesting the strap change.

Sounds like a dumb person working at Tourneau. I happen to know three Rolex Official Boutiques that sell and mount Rubber B straps (not other brands tho). You must have fallen on an ignoramus. LOL

Show some SS clasp photos. Are you using one from Rubber B, purchasing a spare original Rolex, or what? I do not want to mount/dismount my clasp from the bracelet.

Can I buy "any" Rolex SS Clasp? In other words, assuming I don't care particularly about Glidelock or EasyLink for a Rubber B, can I just buy a Sub/GMT/whatever SS clasp no matter the watch I'm mounting?

Looking at a bright orange Rubber B for my white Milguass once I figure out the optimal clasp solution!

Believe it or not, you can find them on Etsy. Someone also posted about a Ginault bracelet for 200 that you could take the glide lock off. I just put rubber b on Daytona.

I would think you can use another Rolex clasp so long as the width matches up. However one thing is clear - do not place a Glidelock on a strap made for easylink like your Milgauss. Accdg to Rubber B, they have to reinforce the strap to handle the friction when using the Glidelock. In the end, best to contact Ribber B; the are helpful. Good luck.

Love the orange on orange Explorer vibes. This is the way. Can you take a more detailed shot on where the band goes against the case? Is there absolutely zero slop in the fitment? I would hate to see a gap between the case and strap.

Yes- pretty easy to do. I used the Bergeron 7825 and their 1.6mm screwdriver along with a small Phillips screwdriver to push the pin through.
