The inclusion of a mechanical watch adds depth, while the Tag Heuer provides a touch of luxury. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Enhance Material Quality**: Introduce a watch with higher-end materials, such as titanium or ceramic, to elevate the material score. Example: Seiko Prospex SPB143, known for its robust build and ceramic bezel. 2. **Increase Movement Diversity**: Add a quartz watch with advanced features to diversify movement types. Example: Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster, offering solar-powered technology. 3. **Expand Complications**: Include a watch with more advanced complications, such as a chronograph or GMT function. Example: Hamilton Khaki Field Auto Chrono, which offers a chronograph feature. ### Downsizing Advice Consider removing the Freestyle Shark FS101063, as it overlaps with the Marathon in terms of casual and sporty use cases. This would streamline the collection and allow for the addition of a watch with more advanced features or materials. ## Watch by Watch Summary 1. **Marathon GPM Black General Purpose Mechanical US Government (7.2) - Price Estimate: $550** - Brand (6.5), History & Innovation (6.0), Rarity (6.5), Material (6.8), Dials & Design (6.5), Movement (7.0), Complications (5.0), Functions (7.5), Versatility (8.0) - A robust military watch with a mechanical movement, known for its durability and practicality. 2. **Tag Heuer 2000 Series 974.013 (7.0) - Price Estimate: $150** - Brand (7.5), History & Innovation (7.0), Rarity (5.5), Material (6.5), Dials & Design (6.8), Movement (6.0), Complications (5.0), Functions (7.0), Versatility (7.5) - A classic luxury watch with a refined design, offering precision and a touch of elegance. 3. **Freestyle Shark FS101063 (6.2) - Price Estimate: $65** - Brand (5.0), History & Innovation (4.5), Rarity (5.0), Material (6.0), Dials & Design (5.5), Movement (5.5), Complications (4.0), Functions (6.0), Versatility (7.0) - A sporty, youthful watch with a focus on casual wear, featuring a durable resin case and water resistance.
