I personally like the Y serial big O with the flat 4 bezel inlay.
I agree that the first LV with the oval O and the flat 4 is interesting but I wouldn`t pay much more than a couple of hundred extra for it.

This I do not understand..

The value gained could NEVER outgrow the "joy" of wearing the darn thing!

If there was a Bizarro World you would be my opposite on that World!

I actually enjoy my side of the world very much. I own 3 Sub LVs . I have watches that I collect and enjoy looking at, and watches that I wear daily. I rotate between my LV M serial, 3 Zenith Daytonas (SS Black dial, SS white dial, & 2 tone), Tudor Tiger, and my Breitling Chronomat Evolution. I agree, enjoy life if you can.

Funny to read a thread like this 8 years later! Most answers are now proofed to be very wrong, or Padi?!
