A monthly journal of trying to get a Daytona 116500
We are approaching the end of Aug 2018. It’s time for an update.
No dice this month when contacting my AD twice.

However, I did make a subtle purchase. I’ve always wanted a Black bezel Sub. I saw a "complete set" M series 16610 T w/ rehaut engraving and couldn’t pass it up. It was purchased in 2009.
As you all know, many 5 series watches are vastly different than their 6 digit successors. I had a 5 digit YM but had to sell it to help fund the BLNR. That V series YM was a pleasure to wear. Not heavy or too light. Just felt perfect on the wrist. (I’ll prob end up selling my Black Sub-C to fund this latest buy).
While I enjoy my 6 digit heavy duty Sub LV and BLNR, sometimes I just want to wear a tad smaller and lighter prof series watch. The 16610 T is that watch for me.
BTW, now I know what reviewers meant by the 116610 and 16610 being greatly different. While I prefer the 16610's case, the 116610's bracelet & clasp are far superior. (and heavier for those improvements)
