Hello all. New to the forum. So forgive me if this is a newbie question.

I have owned the 116613LN for about 6 months and I recently purchased the 116610LN....

I noticed the 116610LN has a smaller half-link that allows for a better fit than the 116613LN....

Did I simply misplace the small link from the gold and steel band or is this a new feature of the SS band?? See pic.

Thoughts?

Anyone?

I would have thought they have the same bracelet and clasp (except for the YG centre links).
Do they both have the same number of links ATM? Did you or your AD move any links after purchase?

It looks to me like the half link has been taken out for adjustment............

I think your bracelet's been re-sized mate: You have two full-links less than me in your 116610LN.

(I have six and a 'half').

Is it just me or do I see 1 half link in the TT and 2 half links next to each other in the SS?

Did you buy from an AD??

My 116610LN has the same two half links as yours. I agree with tools that your TT likely has had one of the half links removed for sizing.
Did you buy it new? If so the links that were removed for sizing should have been given too you.

Mine came like yours, i.e. without the removable half link. But I have six full size links on the twelve o'clock side compared to your four. Presumably you have had two removed?

Both of my Rolexes were purchased new from an AD. When my TT was adjusted the dealer gave me three full links back. I have those links in my Rolex box. I was a Rolex newbie then...still am really.

I asked the question to find out if I need to go back to my AD and demand the small half link back...since I bought two rolexes in 5 months from them hopefully they would return my small link.

However, I have been rifling through as many photos of the TT that I could find and I have not seen a half link in any of those photos. So maybe the TT does not come with a small half link?

I think between "Danand" & "Richard", you may have your answer. Sounds like you're in the clear. good observation, and good choice in peices. Wear them in good health.

I think both your watches are fine.
From what I can remember, ss and tt have different links on 12 o'clock side.
Which ss version have 2 half links, tt version have only 1 half link.
You can find your answer here. SS has 1 more half link on 12 o'clock side.
