I'm relatively new to Instagram but so far I'm enjoying it. Looking at watch pics on IG has become one of my new favorite time-wasting activities. I have a few favorite accounts that I wanted to share here and I'm hoping others can do the same. I probably add more at a later date. I'm not affiliated with any of these accounts other than that I "follow" them. Even though I'm not really a vintage collector, I've found that I absolutely love checking out vintage watch pics. Also, there are exceptions, but I tend to like accounts that showcase relatively affordable watches rather than stuff I'll never have a chance of owning. The easiest way to post is probably just to copy and paste an a link to a IG post, so that a photo shows up here. The four accounts I have today are retrowatchguy, tyalexanderphotography, analogshift, and strixpixmix. Also, this is not the place to post your own Instagram, but we do have a place for that at the link HERE so please add your account there.
As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: Post your favorite Instagram accounts for watches
horologyhouse is another one worth following. Maybe there is nothing particularly creative or innovative here but the photography is phenomenal and he seems to have made an effort to include more affordable watches in addition to the typical high end stuff.
Re: Post your favorite Instagram accounts for watches
horological_dicktionary is one of the funniest, most cynical takes on the watch world I've seen. Love their posts.
Brodinkee is another great meme/humor account.
I like ahartfie too- he's really pleasant to interact with as well. He has an Omega Constellation Megaquartz with an absolutely unreal starfield dial that is 80% of why I follow him lol.

Two strap companies worth following. WatchGecko and B&R Bands always have excellent photography.

Re: Post your favorite Instagram accounts for watches
Two great accounts that show off vintage watches. The first is watchfred. You see a lot of vintage Breitling chronographs on here. I'm pretty sure that Breitling has consulted him about some of their recent re-issues. The second is lowendvintagewatches. He has some great looking vintage pieces, including some from lesser known brands.

Here's two account that mostly feature microbrand watches, microwatchclub and wristrockers. There are probably others too but these are basically the only two big accounts I'm aware of.
