tell me about my new LV

[laguna_surf]

Hello Friends, I recently received a LV as a gift - my first Rolex. I've always enjoyed watches and been fascinated by the concept of time - the philosopher in me. Although I'm not one to covet a Rolex for the impression it may make (not necessarily a judgement, just my impression), I do admire craftsmanship and quality. I also like the concept that the founder of Rolex viewed the watch as symbol of achievement, not status. So a few questions for all you who are far more well versed in Rolex than I:

1. The LV is an anniversary model. However, the anniversary was in 2004 and according to the little bit I've discovered my watch was produced in 2007.

1a. Is this watch 'special' or just a regular production called 'anniversary'?

2. This sub is two weeks old and runs about 30 fast/week. I realize this is with in the COSC specs, but I also read there's a "break-in" period. What's process does the watch go through as it 'ages'.

Thanks my friends. Its fun to know there are so many others who appreciate time and timepieces.

Oh & by the way the Omega and the TAG look like they're going to be collecting a lot of dust - haven't even considered taking off this new sub!http://www.rolexforums.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
