3 - Rolex / Casio / JLC - 202309171712
Collector Description

Hello! Here is my small collection. From most to least likely to survive being dropped in the toilet we have:

G Shock GW-M5610

Rolex Sea Dweller 16600

JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon in rose gold

I like the G Shock because it’s light, accurate, solar powered, and even my 2 year old daughter cannot break it. I like the 16600 because the design is iconic, it’s the perfect size for my wrist, and it affords me the opportunity to act like a pedant when people mistake it for a submariner. I like the JLC because it allows me to look down on all the peasants wearing Rolexes. These little champs cover all my bases and I consider myself very content.

PS, does anyone know how to solve a Rubik’s cube? It’s been 6 years…

A.I. Collection Summary:

This three-watch collection juxtaposes the robust professionalism of a vintage Rolex deep-sea diver, the unbreakable digital toughness of a solar-powered G-Shock, and the refined poetry of a rose gold Jaeger-LeCoultre ultra-thin moonphase dress watch, offering extreme versatility across adventure, daily abuse, and formal elegance but with minimal thematic unity.

A.I. Collection Review:
# 3 Watch Collection - Rolex (33%) / Casio (33%) / Jaeger-LeCoultre (33%) Review by A.I. WatchMetrics ## Collection Summary This three-watch collection juxtaposes the robust professionalism of a vintage Rolex deep-sea diver, the unbreakable digital toughness of a solar-powered G-Shock, and the refined poetry of a rose gold Jaeger-LeCoultre ultra-thin moonphase dress watch, offering extreme versatility across adventure, daily abuse, and formal elegance but with minimal thematic unity. **"Diver Tough Moon Trio"** ## Overall Collection Rating: 7.3/10.0 **Movement Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Superior calibres from Rolex's workhorse 3135 to Casio's atomic solar module and JLC's ultra-thin 925 outpace the reliability of a standard ETA 2824-powered Hamilton lineup. **Versatility Metric (8.9/10.0)** - Spanning deep diving, shockproof digital utility, and black-tie dress occasions provides broader everyday applicability than a mono-style Tudor Black Bay set. **Dials & Design Metric (8.7/10.0)** - Iconic matte black bezel, high-legibility LCD, and guilloche moonphase dial deliver standout aesthetics comparable to an Omega Seamaster collection's visual punch. **History & Innovation Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Deep heritage from Rolex's helium-valve pioneer, G-Shock's survivor legacy, and JLC's thin complications rivals the storied impact of a vintage Omega Speedmaster trio. **Material Metric (8.2/10.0)** - Premium steel sapphire, impact-resistant resin/mineral, and rose gold finishing match the durability and luxury of a mixed Oris and Christopher Ward assortment. **Brand Metric (7.4/10.0)** - Rolex and JLC prestige tempered by Casio's tool-watch prowess equals the brand equity of an entry-luxury set like Tudor and Oris. **Functions Metric (7.2/10.0)** - Solid timekeeping plus diver bezel, atomic sync, and moonphase covers essentials better than a basic Seiko Prospex diver alone. **Rarity Metric (6.0/10.0)** - Discontinued Rolex and low-volume JLC boost scarcity over the mass-produced Casio, landing between a common Submariner and a limited Oris release. **Complications Metric (4.8/10.0)** - Sparse traditional complications beyond JLC's moonphase trail a Grand Seiko Snowflake's subtle sophistication. **Cohesiveness Metric (3.8/10.0)** - Starkly diverse styles and price points lack the unified theme of a cohesive Rolex Datejust or Seiko diver stack. ## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.0 ## TPS Interpretation: Modest Value: The collection delivers strong technical depth at an average $10,900 price but is held back by disjointed cohesiveness. ## WM Collector Grade: D ## Performance Insights: Outstanding movement and versatility shine against benchmarks like mid-tier Seikos, but low cohesiveness and functions create uneven value, implying fairer pricing around $7,500. ## Collection Type by Style - **Adventure/Tool (Rolex Sea-Dweller)**: Professional deep diver. - **Tool/Digital (Casio G-Shock)**: Rugged solar atomic beater. - **Formal/Dress (JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon)**: Elegant complication showcase. ## Collection Type by Movement - **Automatic Mechanical (Rolex 3135, JLC 925)**: 2 watches, ~45-hour reserves. - **Solar Quartz (Casio Module 3495)**: 1 watch, solar-powered with atomic accuracy. ## Collection Strengths - Exceptional breadth for any occasion, from ocean depths to boardrooms. - High technical performance with iconic, reliable movements across categories. - Balanced investment potential from two luxury pieces offsetting the beater. ## Ideas for Improvement 1. Introduce a unifying theme, like all tool divers or all complications, to boost cohesiveness. 2. Add a mid-price bridge watch (~$2k-5k) to smooth price gaps and style transitions. 3. Diversify with a chronograph or GMT for enhanced function overlap without redundancy. ## Downsizing Advice To two watches, retain the Rolex Sea-Dweller for tool versatility and JLC Moon for luxury dress, retiring the Casio as its functions are replicable via smartphone; to one, prioritize the Rolex for broadest daily wear and enduring value. ## Watch by Watch Summary - **Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600**: Legendary 1220m-rated steel diver with helium escape and matte dial, a collector staple at ~$9,700 secondary. - **Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U-1JF**: Square Tough Solar icon with Multi-Band 6 atomic sync and 200m resistance, unbeatable at $128 for abuse. - **JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon Rose Gold**: Slim 39mm rose gold masterpiece with poetic moonphase and 925 calibre, luxurious at ~$23,000. **A.I.
