Strengthen thematic unity around vintage divers or fields for better cohesion. 2. Add GMT or chronograph functions to elevate complication depth. 3. Diversify with a high-beat or in-house microbrand movement for innovation. ## Downsizing Advice Prioritize retaining the Tudor Submariner for luxury/tool icon status and investment upside, plus one Seiko (Presage for dress or Field for utility); sell the Movado and Universal Genève for quick cash as vintage liquidity is decent, and the extra Seiko at near-zero loss. ## Watch by Watch Summary **Movado Calatrava Borgel Case**: Vintage standout with pioneering screw-down Borgel case and clean minimalist dial for collector cred. **Tudor Submariner (7800)**: Robust heritage diver offering pro-grade 200m+ resistance and timeless black-bezel presence. **Seiko 5 Field Sports (295)**: Budget champ for adventure with military-spec dial, 100m WR, and hackable 4R36 auto. **Universal Geneve White Shadow Date 8710201**: Sleek compressor diver boasting 300m WR, crisp white dial, and modern Sellita reliability. **Seiko Presage Cocktail Time (450)**: Dress darling with radiant sunburst dial evoking cocktail sophistication and smooth 4R35 sweeping seconds. **A.I.
