Yes, I think it has been officially discontinued although there must be millions of them all around the world due to their popularity and availability in the past.

Yes they have been officially replaced with the 116610, with the super case, ceramic bezel and maxi dial. There are a few new 16610's still popping up on the forums, if you're looking for one.

Thank you very much guys. I'm guessing that means only a handful of ADs still sell em? or non at all?

Many dealers were out of the 'old' subs a few months back. You may be able to find the odd one, and there are several new ones listed here with very reputable sellers.

One of the 2 ADs here in Auckland still has a couple of the older Subs in stock; so if you're lucky, you might find an AD with an odd left over piece.

However, as Dave rightly advised, get in touch with some of trusted TRF sellers and they will be able to sort one out for you.

Good luck - JJ
