Cannot say for sure...
Don’t only post MB but all brands. As for refugees, it’s a difficult question. As with quite some of us - know it was like this in my case - people first lurk, before really getting going full speed and I do not have any tools to monitor what comes to here from what source.
As for the 3-1 ratio, not sure it’s that simple. Writing a longer post here takes much more time than an IG entry. And still I manage three times as many posts here. 
Social Media vs PuristSPro
Dear friends I'm very curious how many of you use as primary source of watch information and interaction with fellows collectors our forum opposed to other social media platforms like Facebook...Instagram...Twitter etc... After all do all of you have FB.....
Simple. I use Instagram five times a month. The rest of my time is dedicated to Watchprosite.
Our site has such a Community that I don't feel the need to go and see elsewhere. Moreover, we have discussions and topics which don't exist anywhere else. Our place is unique. Best, Nicolas
With 30K+ posts in lest than 2 years if you would using anything else than WPS I would be 100% sure you are a robot
and that is just one more proof why you don't wanna meet me
I'm a big Instagram user
For me, Instagram is a mandatory media to share the passion for watches. Almost all my close friends have an account. I don't consider it as an "opponent' to PuristSPro but a perfect complement. I don't use the media for the same purpose. I don't use Inst...
I am also increasingly using IG...
I use it also as a valuable tool to gauge interest of a wider audience towards different watches and brands, the instant feedback gives you very quickly an idea where general interest lies. Also, there are a lot of people you simply don't reach through a ...
And that increased usage of IG we fans of Zenith can feel by
missing more of your great texts here :p Cheers D
I think you should look at twitter again. It is strong on media and allows a direct link back/
twitter.com We have 42,000 post on twitter and 29,000 pictures and video. Twitter really allows you to brodcaste your data with direct links back. The problem with twitter is it is not flavor of the day because of allot of the games played with bots a...
I have FB and this site, no Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram...
take it back for Instagram, it was created by FB with me answering some questions not knowing it will create account. And, suddenly I have 20+ followers 🤣 and I haven’t post anything. I used FB lesser nowadays due to way too many advertisements and other ...
Apparently addicted to...
... PuristSPro. 🤔 Visiting Instagram: monthly Visiting FB: weekly Visiting PuristSPro: daily Best, Thomas
PuristSPro only source for Watch info & interaction
I have no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat presence or knowledge of how to use them. Cazalea
Like the majority of others who have replied so far...
Facebook...Instagram...Tweeter : 0%. Actually, I don't even have an account with any of them! WatchProSite is the only forum that I visit and where I am active in watches, and I don't miss any other one .
Agreed dear Mike majority of members seem to have same habits around using net when looking after watch related info...
another thing that binds us! Cheers D
WatchProSite all the time,
Instagram several times a week, Rolex Forums occasionally. Best Kari
In terms of time elapsed around 67% PPro and 33% IG
IG lacks depth most of the time but there is such a wide breadth of info & mostly opinions, that it is fun to check out periodically. PPro is for the depth and more mature thoughts.
I use Instagram primary.
I also keep thread/blog on WUS for last 5 years that's nicely visited. But this place seems very tight and I love how you all know each other. I would love to become permanent part of this community.
Not so tight when you spend more time here...at least not so tight that everyone is not welcomed...
Please spend more time here post ...read ...learn..but most of all enjoy and suddenly you'll realize that since day 1 you were permanent part of this community! Cheers D
Mainly PPro.
I do use some other forums for info but no interaction. And not using any social media platform at all for watch info/resource.
Mainly ppro but also ig
70 purist 30 ig A few other forums like tz and vrf to a lesser extent Julian
No other social media platform for me---not signed on.
Watch information primarily from puristspro and occasionally other website. best
PPro....
solely for horology related discussions, Aston Martin Owners Club mostly for transportation related topics (save for the occasional thread here) and Twitter exclusively as a news feed from a few corporate and individual accounts since news nowadays mostly...
Watchprosite for me is what community is all about. Like minded people sharing not showing off.
It may sound crazy to say showing your 50k watch is not showing off but it is completely normal as we have a community of watch collectors. We get the same joy and the same respect sharing our $500 or $1000 dollar vintage watch. As a community we share th...
PPro everyday, throughout the day
Occasionally check out Instagram. I don’t use any other social media. There is so much knowledge and information here and the app is also terrific!
Like Fx has said,
I don’t see other social media as opponents of PPro. They serve different purposes. For information, knowledge and in-depth discussion, PPro is The place. I’ve also made a few watch loving friends through my IG account (luis6_kch), which was set up only f...
I agree Luis and it wasn't gist of my post at all to set any social media as oponents to WPS
Glad you joined and stayed with us all this time Cordially D
Social media to me is just 😀😀😀cool watch
beans thats a great on ⭐️ (Notice the mispelling of one to on because spell check was being evil on social media Do we really want comments like these over PuristSPro hehe?
IG for my 20x a day quick fix, and...
PuristsPro when I have the time to read into things in a more meaningful way.
Ppro is an internet forum
I'm checking IG for nice photos. Cars, watches, women 😍😍😍 It's like watching a catalogue. WPS is a technological tool which puts in contacts people from Taipei to Lalaland, sharing our own point of view and thoughts. Unfortunately today there is no more t...
addicted to puristspro...at least here few times a day
i read selective few blogs - thats it ! Best, mahesh.,
Likewise
PP at least once a day and very occasionally check other sites for specific info. Receive emails from Fratello etc and read articles if interesting. PP covers all enthusiasts,from elderly impoverished novices like me to expert collectors. As a forum it ha...
A few but not all:
PP often; Omega Forum occasionally for info & watch sales; FB often, but heavily automated to avoid spam and ‘chatter’ - I use it mainly for alt news feeds and comment, also new music & gigs; LinkedIn weekly & strictly for work. I think that’s enough time...
I'm from the last century
I have no FB, Twitter or Instagram account.... but have a lot of fun here stere
Only PuristSPro
I don’t feel the need to have FB, Twitter etc accounts. I waste enough time already... All the best,
Quite simple: actively: 100% PuristsPro
only looking at GPs IG and FB pages, but I don't even have an account. For me IG is too shallow, photo and then emoticons, but very little information. Twitter, i don't use, but could be an interesting source. Great topic! CC
Expect people here, will by definition, use PuristSPro BUT we welcome EVERYONE
As moderators, we have to monitor social media sites and users that outnumber PuristSPro readers globally. It's the smart thing to do. We all know that and have to serve all users. As PuristS, all are welcomed without prejudice. Social media is the new co...
We welcome EVERYONE...except racists! ;) :))
Indeed Passion Opinion Information comes in various forms. Sincerely D
I do not use a smart phone or any form of social media!
I use the internet for three main purposes - to retrieve my emails, to check the exchange rate and to access watchprosite. I am quite a stubborn dinosaur to put it mildly. Thank you for having this site or else my watch knowledge would be minimal.
