Ok here are some more...

Z277xxx purchased Jan 2007:





M146xxx purchased Jan 2008:
Puffy, I think we have a match to your M277xxx
(this dial had the brightest lume of all my LV's)





And finally my V192xxx purchased Feb 2010:

Notice the very faint text on the dial compared to the previous production LV's

Thanks everyone

Please remember to include the DATE and YEAR of purchase, otherwise I can't use the dial

Be great with more Ys, Fs and Gs and Randoms!

M series bought from AD June of 2008. Dial was replaced by rolex service center shortly after purchase due to brown spot on one of my dots.

Sorry about the picture. I wanted to play and decided to use this as it was the best shot I could get. I need a new camera for close up stuff.

I like the light or thin font on the dial better than the thicker fonts.!

This is my series F858XXX. I do not have the papers and I am the second owner but I am told the watch was untouched. The research I have done says the late F series did not have the Flat 4, as you can see my 4 is pointed. The dial has the wide 5 tick "swiss made" The Oval "O" And the r in Osyter under the middle of R of Rolex. According to Mondani the dial is the "Mark 1".

I am very interested to see others!

Other LV owners in 2003-2004:
Please let me know what your watch came with (mine did not have the original box). So far I believe that watches in the year mine was made had the anchor included with the chain with the bar on the end of the chain. The display box was the side mounted metal "cuff" insert. Was there a wallet with the calendar inserted?
Thanks!

Chris

D serial, purchased in 2005, untouched, no artificial light for this picture, only daylight, I love this pale green with thin font.
I notice from what I see here that some of the latest versions (V, M and random serials for example) feature forest green inserts with fat font while some not (Z serial).
Edit: And I just saw that Manilenyo's D serial LV has a forest green insert as well, so I guess there is no rule.....

Puffy, thanks for the pictures!!! They support my research so far to assemble a set of correct accessories.

Unfortunately I have only been able to get "late 2004" as the purchase date.

M was an extremely busy range, many more Ms out there than any other serial so nothing too special.... But still a great watch!!
