Finally on Instagram!

I finally took the plunge and to celebrate I have posted a whole load of photos of many pieces from my collection both past and present! Hope to see some of you on there!

You can now click "reply" on a comment to respond to someone. Alternatively just add the user's IG handle in your response and they'll see a notification in their account.

For example, if I respond to a comment you made I would respond with @Conkers1971 <type in my response>

You need to start using hashtags...so more people can see your picture when they search for that particular watch... no point of IG without hashtags

It's actually very easy to take reasonably good pictures. All you need is a good smarphone camera ( most phones nowadays are ) and focus when you took the shot. That's all.

See some of my post in IG. Example, in the description, put #audemarspiguet or #patekphilippe for example. Then those that search for these hashtags can see your pics.

I am personally not too obsessed about how many views or followers I have on my IG. Just let it take it's course naturally.

Think I have worked it out. I can do it by adding a comment to each photo. Not sure I have the time to do it to all 43 photos at the moment though! Thanks for the tip. Will do on new posts.

Use all relevant words to the picture preceded by a # i.e. #patek #watch #wristporn (always a good one!)

The easiest thing to do is write all of your tags in the notes section of your phone then just copy/paste them when you post
