Our first collection photo – a Seiko, a Tommy Bahama, a Relic, and a JF. Lucas has a nice, strong starter collection here. He writes:

This is the bad ass collection. A Seiko, a Tommy Bahama, a Relic and JF?. The only one I purchased was the Seiko, and the others were peoples attempts to buy me cool watches. But, everyone has to start somewhere. Next, I want a Orange Monster, for my first automatic.

He apparently also collects Goldfish.

Remember to send in your collection photos to tips@hourtimeshow.com
