Collector Description

I wanted make my collection about watches you generally don't see or hear about.
The one on the left is a Jaz quartz from I believe the 70s.
The middle one is a Casio W96H which I love because I loved seeing this watch in stores back in the 2000s
The right one is an Omega Dynamic Geneve which is I think is also from the 70s. But I love it and I think that watch will be my main watch aside from the Casio.

## Collection Strengths, Ideas for Improvement, Downsizing Advice
### Collection Strengths
The collection's key strengths lie in its versatility and the inclusion of the Omega Geneve Dynamic, which adds historical significance and a touch of vintage elegance. The Casio W96H-1BV enhances functionality with its practical features, making the collection suitable for various occasions.
### Ideas for Improvement
1. **Add a Sport/Active Watch**: Introduce a durable sports watch to enhance the collection's versatility. Consider the Seiko Prospex SRPD55, which offers robust features and a sporty design.
2. **Incorporate a Travel Watch**: A GMT or world-time watch would add functionality for frequent travelers. The Citizen Promaster Nighthawk is a budget-friendly option with dual-time capabilities.
3. **Enhance Material Quality**: Introduce a watch with higher-end materials, such as titanium or ceramic, to elevate the collection's material metric. The Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 offers a refined design with quality materials.
### Downsizing Advice
Consider removing the JAZ Paris Stretched Dial, as it has the least impact on the collection's overall rating and overlaps with the Casio in terms of casual style. This would streamline the collection and allow for the addition of a more specialized piece.
