Hi guys,

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Just came back from a short holiday in Penang. Before that had to clear some work so was quite tied up.

I've a very small collection of Seikos and G-shocks and some others. I've always wanted to take photos but never really got around to doing it. Always told myself I will do it once my next watch arrives but I end up buying another and waiting for it to arrive again. :P

Since it's the school holidays now and I've got a couple of days off, will start taking some photos. Will be posting it up soon *fingers crossed*

Thanks again for all the comments.

Update: My poor man's collection http://tamhk.com/mwf/index.php/topic,1127.0.html
