Introduce a GMT complication for enhanced travel versatility to complement the tool-watch focus. 2. Add a slimmer dress or field watch to expand beyond pure sports for formal occasions. 3. Incorporate a modern microbrand or independent for contemporary contrast and added uniqueness. ## Downsizing Advice This lean three-watch collection efficiently covers chronograph, diver, and heritage tool roles without overlap, so downsizing isn't recommended unless budget-constrained—prioritize retaining the Omega Seamaster for Bond/icon appeal and the Tudor Submariner as the ultimate everyday beater, potentially selling the Speedmaster Mark II if needing quick liquidity while preserving 80% of the collection's strength. ## Watch by Watch Summary - **Tudor Submariner (7800)**: Timeless vintage Rolex homage diver with clean dial and robust steel case, ideal as the collection's reliable daily wearer. - **Omega Speedmaster Mark II 145.014 (2500)**: Distinctive 1970s cushion-case manual chronograph evoking Speedmaster evolution, standout for its unique pusher design and collector quirk. - **Omega Seamaster 300 James Bond 2531.80 (2800)**: Pop culture-infused 300m diver with wave dial and aluminum bezel, delivering Bond-era cool and automatic reliability. **A.I.
