Best vintage Rolex collection accounts on instagram?

What’s the top 10 list? Beaumont Miller II’s account comes to mind as on the list. Who else do you think has a great one?

I've found most prolific vintage Rolex collectors don't post often on IG (with the exception of those that are now "dealers" or buy/sell often).

I have to admit, it's a great platform to find unknown references and get early dibs on things that might be offered soon.

Would you respond to the private message I sent you a couple weeks ago.

Thanks you.

Interesting, thanks. Anywhere else I can see some great pieces? Maybe some threads on here worth searching?

It's hard to point to where "great pieces" could be viewed. A lot of watch scholarship is based on the study of images first (before holding in your hands and inspecting) and going to the FS section here, VRF and on known dealer sites is probably the very best combo.

For more obscure watches (M90 from Movado for e.g.) it's best to subscribe to tags on IG (e.g. #movado, #movadoM90, #M90Movado etc.) so that when one pops up either as a posting from an owner or as an IG only sales offering, you are likely to see it in your feed (not guaranteed but often results in interesting "finds").
