The appearance of V serials was first noticed in 2008. M serials were first noted in 2007. Having said that, I believe the SubC was introduced in 2008. If so, I suppose it is possible that the first one off the line was a V (assuming the V designation started before the Sub was introduced). I don't think it would be the first time in history that Rolex produced watches with more than one type serial number concurrently.

The SubC's were introduced with the V serials. Not that it matters at the end of day.
