Looks good......but a wee bit confusing, say.........a few years down the line.

I've got the V-878XXX and mine's in Sydney right now in the safe custody of my daughter. I get it on Sunday when she arrives!!

Ahh...that watch is so 2009... It's all about 2010 now...

Seriously, great watch that will probably be a collectors item one day...transition serial number before the new model is released and these get put out to pasture...

Nice score! I love the Sub!

I am totally craving this watch after seeing one last night on Nine By Design! The mother had a Sub and it was gorgeous. <sigh>
