What's the latest wisdom around getting a half-link for a SS Daytona 116500ln?

Thanks

As they do not make a half-link for the Daytona.

What I have and others have done, is used the half-link from the 116610/114060 Submariner and polish the center to match the PCL - (1/2 link part # - 32-21029). (I personally did not polish the center link as its hidden within the clasp)

Very helpful. Thank you

You can add a full link and then move the easy adjustment over and then you have your half link.

Between the full link at 10mm, and the 3mm between each of the three notches under the clasp and 5mm for easy link, you should be able to craft a +/- combination for a proper fit.

I can get it to fit but not sit balanced on my wrist at the same time.

believe it or not it can still leave some of us "in between" sizes.

I wear a 4.5x6 on my daytona. As someone else mentioned, half link from a submariner, polished center, fits perfectly.

This... I'm extremely fussy with fit but with the combination of easy links and the micro adjustments you should be able to dial it in perfect.
