The Rolex GMT-Master II "Batman" is a standout for its dual-time functionality and iconic design, while the Tissot Gentleman offers impressive power reserve and elegance. The Orient Skeleton adds artistic value with its intricate design. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Add a Dress Watch**: Introduce a classic dress watch to enhance the formal aspect of the collection. Consider the Longines Master Collection, which offers elegance and sophistication at a reasonable price. 2. **Include a Dive Watch**: A dive watch would add robustness and sportiness. The Seiko Prospex Diver is a great option, known for its durability and water resistance. 3. **Expand Complications**: Incorporate a watch with more advanced complications, such as a moonphase or chronograph. The Frederique Constant Moonphase offers these features with a classic design. ### Downsizing Advice Consider removing the Orient Mechanical Contemporary Skeleton if the focus is on enhancing cohesiveness and reducing overlap in style.
