Finally, in 1987, I was able to move back to my true love, a new TT DJ 16013 I still have today, this one.

And it's a beauty, Wayne. Very similar to mine, which I still have and love!

16610 black sub for me in 1991 at the cost of £1490. I still have this watch with all the boxes, instructions and hangtags and original purchase receipt.

the dealer offered me a zenith daytona 16520 at the same time and I said I did not like it, what a muppet...

Now I love daytonas and have a couple
