Hey all,

Been lurking for awhile, but wanted to ask if anyone has seen a v-series SD (not DSSD) at their AD. Ideally in the NYC/NJ or San Francisco bay area - a reply or pm would be much appreciated.

cheers

Dont know why its got to be a V because Since E case stamp letter in 1989 the only difference in any SD is now non lug hole case and a few very minor cosmetic details. So from the late Y case stamp letter there is no difference in any SD whether it be Y,F,D,Z.M,or V case stamp letter,there must be thousands of them around.

I belive so far, the V SD has been only seen overseas. I have seen one at at auction, but not at an AD. Ron

Had one V serial in December and I have been allocated another at the end of this month.

A V serial won't be worth more than a D serial 30 years down the road so if you want one, grab one while they are still in almost every AD out there.

Just bought a V in Vancouver, Canada

Watchtastic · 18 March 2009, 05:56 AM

If you don't mind me asking, what did you get it for? And from what AD in Vancouver?

$6,480.00 cdn which was full retail but no GST, no PST from Palladio. Came out to $5,145.00 USD total.

Two "M" series in stock here. No difference between M and V other than case stamp. In fact, many were stamped IN THE SAME YEAR. I called our rep about a V series just becasue I have had a few clients ask about them and he said he might be able to ship me one for stock.

deeplake · 18 March 2009, 10:22 PM

thanks all for the replies.

There is some novelty factor to having the last series, though I don't expect it to be worth any more down the line. mostly interested because V is one of my initials, M is not (small detail I know, but might influence me to buy vs. wait). daytonaboy would you be able/interested in shipping to U.S.?

Watchtastic do you know if they were both v series?

Watchtastic · 19 March 2009, 12:47 AM

Yup they are V series. They also have a GC Milg.

Watchtastic · 19 March 2009, 02:41 AM

I just called them and they are both Deep Sea's. They have not seen a new Sea Dweller in a long time. Hope this helps!

I've heard that in one of the V serial SD's boxes, there is a special golden ticket. That ticket entitles the owner to have a personal guided tour of the Rolex factory & try on all the watches. Then, if the guide likes you, he'll let you own the factory.

The person that finds a silver ticket get's a Rado!
