Icon7 Who do you follow?

Hi Guys,

Long time Rolex fan but new to the forum.

At the end of every year I always like to review my social media follows and the blogs I read to keep things fresh. Therefore, I wanted to ask who you guys read and follow for Rolex and misc. watch news/knowledge.

Twitter

Instagram

Facebook Groups

Blogs

Other?

There is a thread of TRF members who are on IG. I follow them as well as some Youtube watch enthusiasts like Producer Michael, etc. I don't follow replica watchmakers.

This is the only social media that I do really. The Rolex Forums.

YouTube
-WatchBox Reviews Tim Mosso for technical watch information
-WatchBox Studios for watch world news
- IDGuy for watch design and aesthetic discussions

I really like the take from IDGuy too. Most others seem like drama queens

for getting to see models (not reviews) witchfinder videos are good.
That IDGuy is also good analysis on design.
That Irish bloke based in Italy I'm liking at the moment.

Don’t follow anyone on anti-social media. TRF is it for me.

Instagram for good and unusual vintage watch photos, mostly Seiko. I just follow people with nice collections; nobody famous.

I follow a few of the guys here on IG. Without naming names, there are some folks here with really interesting collections.

I also appreciate Tim Mosso’s You Tube videos, and I also follow Hodinkee.

Not big on social media but I feel that most probably have some sort of agenda going on
May be overt and part of the gig like having a strap / Nato. To sell. Or more covert - hidden agenda being a shill for different brands.
Take it all in if you like but always with a "grain of salt "
