Not quite vintage yet, though it's getting there... My 2001 Hublot Elegant Chronograph. This was my #1 and worn almost every day for 13-14 years until I got my 1979 GMT. Hadn't gotten any wrist time since the Rolex came into the picture so I decided to bust it out today. Still love this watch.

Thankfully I still have most of my hair, albeit it's more gray than black nowadays, much like the bezel on my Sea Dweller which I'm wearing again today.

Thanks Andy - yours is very similar to mine, probably quite close serial numbers, mine is a 2.43X.XXX. Be careful on the insert front, lot of artificially faded ones out there - just know what you're buying. Try the market on VRF (vintage rolex forum), there's always a few on there (or post a WTB).

Been wearing the wideboy nonstop since I got it. My Tudor sub has some competition when it gets back from service...
