SevenFriday V-Series Watch
So it has finally happened: SevenFriday have released a new collection �C or series, as they like to call them-with the?SevenFriday V-Series. It is the newest addition to the family that previously contained the P- and M-Series. While its forerunners were all 47mm soft-edged squares, the case shape of the V-Series is totally different. Two left side protrusions, housing a simple-but-smart FSC (Fast Strap Change) system, change the look of this watch entirely. In the same way Star Wars got creative with the shaping of their lettered craft, this watch kind of looks like a V that has toppled to its right and just decided to stay there.Aside from the obvious shift in silhouette, the SevenFriday V-Series features a round specially hardened and anti-reflective treated domed mineral glass and a more traditionally shaped dial.

Newbie - saying hello
Am looking to buy my first Rolex this year. Waiting to see what happens in Basel. But my aim is to go for a watch I can wear daily and keep for many years. Contenders are of course the SUB (No-date), but I do also like the Explorer I and am pondering others in the range.
