The inclusion of iconic models like the Rolex Submariner Hulk and the limited edition Blancpain Fifty Fathoms No Rad LE-500 adds historical significance and exclusivity. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Expand Style Variety**: Introduce a casual or everyday watch to diversify the collection. Consider the **Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra** for its versatility and elegant design. 2. **Enhance Complications**: Add a watch with more advanced complications, such as a chronograph. The **Tudor Black Bay Chrono** offers a robust chronograph function at a reasonable price. 3. **Increase Movement Diversity**: Include a watch with a different movement type, such as a quartz or Spring Drive. The **Grand Seiko SBGA211** with its Spring Drive movement would add technical diversity. ### Downsizing Advice Consider removing the **Oris Aquis Date Caliber 400** if downsizing is necessary. While it offers modern innovation, it overlaps in style and function with the other dive watches, and its removal would have the least impact on the collection's overall rating. ## Watch by Watch Summary 1. **Rolex Submariner Hulk (8.9) - Price Estimate: $22,500** - Brand (8.5), History & Innovation (8.0), Rarity (8.5), Material (8.8), Dials & Design (8.7), Movement (9.0), Complications (7.0), Functions (9.5), Versatility (7.5) - Iconic green-dialed dive watch with exceptional craftsmanship and robust functionality. 2. **Blancpain Fifty Fathoms No Rad LE-500 (8.7) - Price Estimate: $26,000** - Brand (8.5), History & Innovation (8.5), Rarity (9.0), Material (8.7), Dials & Design (8.5), Movement (8.5), Complications (7.0), Functions (9.0), Versatility (7.0) - Limited edition with historical significance and vintage-inspired design. 3. **Oris Aquis Date Caliber 400 (8.3) - Price Estimate: $2,175** - Brand (7.5), History & Innovation (7.0), Rarity (7.5), Material (8.5), Dials & Design (8.3), Movement (8.7), Complications (6.5), Functions (8.5), Versatility (7.0) - Modern dive watch with a reliable movement and strong build quality.
