Yes, dial color is darker on older watches but they do not have the haute text.

I wouldn't be fussed if its a m or v series. Makes no real difference, unless one day you was hoping to pass it on to your son and you wanted the serial to be his birth year.... then its a different story.

Using history as a judge, V will not be the last serial IF a new TT Sub is released.

Had a call from my AD today. The decision has been taken out of my hands in that Rolex cannot supply a V serial in the UK for at least a couple of months. I suppose that they must have a stock of M serials at HQ that they need to shift first!
Looks like I am going to see my new M serial some time over the weekend.

Please can you enlighten me as to what "haute text" is?

Get what you want, only with Rolex does anyone seem to care about this kind of thing.
