Welcome to Follow Me, a monthly column showcasing our favorite watch-related Instagram accounts, from collectors to dealers and everything in between.
This month, one account brings some of the most unique, creative leather straps on the web; another sources the best in under-the-radar vintage watches, and a third dives beneath the waves to bring you awesome watch photography.
@theleatherstrap
I don't know Ed personally, but I know he makes some dope-ass leather watch straps — the kind with funky stitching and colors that you can't find amidst the stock of even some of my favorite strap makers. (Do I need a Speedy to go with one of these red, white and blue beauties?)
@justinvrakas
Justin Vrakas, founder of Watch Steez, knows a good vintage watch when he sees one. His personal IG is full of great old watches, many of which are for sale (though @watchsteez has its own IG page). He frequently posts lesser-known, more affordable watches, which is a breath of fresh air from Vintage Rolex Land.
@gishanir
Talented photographer and wife of none other than watch world legend Jason Heaton, Gishani's adventures have taken her around the world, where she's photographed some of the best watches in the coolest locales. If you're into watches and you don't follow her on IG, now's the time to change that.
