I did unfollow or block unwanted accounts -- but in the process some of them have wasted my time, either by spamming wiht multiple posts of the same thing, or requiring me to take a look at their account to see if they were legit or if I wanted to have anything to do with it.
The filtering work that's required is in itself a nuisance.

I much prefer the conversations taking place here.

This chronograph is very cool, by the way....

I'll admit to feeling the same as Syrte. It is a bit of a pain scrolling through a pile of pictures of the same watch, and it has made me think about unfollowing some (I have only been on IG for a month or so). I noticed the way some people post you can 'scroll right' to see multiple pics vs having to keep scrolling down through a bunch of pics of the same watch to see content posted by others.

well i suppose thats the importance of following people you actually want to follow.. im sure looking at 7 pics of the same watch is ok if its a watch you like but then 22 pics of a seiko 5 glass back with 10 different location backdrops including sunset and beach can be a bit of a ball ache... hehe bookmarking hashtags & accounts is a good idea too rather than just scrolling your feed

Yeah Instagram added the option to add multiple photos in one post a while back. Super useful!

It's a nice idea to create a hashtag #omegaforums, I started using it. I like the comraship and the discussions here, so it's nice to connect there.
My handle is @syrte7.

@FullyWound I have nothing against the traders who post and sell the kinds of watches I like (if done without excessive repetition), but there are many providers of all other sorts who start following and "liking" watch accounts.

Warning: @MMMD is mainly recycling old ΩF pics.
You have so many beautiful ones we had lost track anyway. 😜
The only problem with your instagram account is that no one except us will remember and know you as "curmudgeonly absurdist", a remarkable instance of Dennis wit.

Actually you would be incorrect in my case. I like seeing the new watches some of you get in, but even with ones that really catch my eye I don't need to see/ scroll through 10 posts on it. A single one that allows side scrolling is much more user friendly in my opinion. So my choice is to stop following, and therefore not be a potential customer. I realize I am only a single data point, but with there being so many collectors/ resellers to monitor it gets tedious to see someone make a pile of posts on a single watch.

This is not a paid advertisement 😁

@LouS and @MMMD have recently decided to join instagram. Any and all vintage watch lovers should follow them: @lou_s and @subdials respectively. You are welcome. That is all.
Hang on, do you mean lou__s rather than lou_s?

The double underscore chappie looks a lot more like a vintage watch collector than the single underscore IG user...

Talking about "hangers on", some food businesses started following me.
Did others observe the same, do they target watch enthusiasts in search of disposable income?
or could it be because of the #Paris street scenes I posted, despite the fact they have nothing to do with food?
Those are interesting phenomenons....
