The inclusion of the Rolex Submariner Hulk adds a touch of luxury and versatility, enhancing the collection's overall appeal. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Enhance Complications**: Introduce a watch with advanced complications, such as a chronograph or GMT function, to elevate the Complications Metric. Consider the Omega Speedmaster Professional for its iconic chronograph feature. 2. **Diversify Materials**: Add a watch with unique materials, such as ceramic or titanium, to improve the Material Metric. The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic offers a modern take with its ceramic case. 3. **Increase Rarity**: Include a limited edition or rare piece to boost the Rarity Metric. The Grand Seiko SBGA413 "Cherry Blossom" is a limited edition with a unique dial design. ### Downsizing Advice Consider removing the Sinn EZM 3 603, as it overlaps with the Sinn Stealth Pilot 856-S in style and function, and does not significantly impact the collection's overall rating. ## Watch by Watch Summary 1. **Rolex Submariner Hulk (8.9) - Price Estimate: $22,500** - Brand (9.0), History & Innovation (8.5), Rarity (8.8), Material (9.0), Dials & Design (9.2), Movement (9.0), Complications (7.0), Functions (9.5), Versatility (9.0) - Iconic dive watch with a vibrant green dial, known for its robust build and high water resistance. 2. **IWC Pilot Spitfire (8.5) - Price Estimate: $4,250** - Brand (8.5), History & Innovation (8.0), Rarity (7.5), Material (8.0), Dials & Design (8.5), Movement (8.8), Complications (8.0), Functions (8.5), Versatility (8.5) - Classic pilot watch with a strong aviation heritage, featuring a reliable automatic movement. 3. **Sinn Stealth Pilot 856-S (8.2) - Price Estimate: $2,760** - Brand (7.5), History & Innovation (7.0), Rarity (7.0), Material (7.8), Dials & Design (7.5), Movement (8.0), Complications (7.0), Functions (8.5), Versatility (8.0) - Rugged tool watch with excellent legibility and durability, ideal for aviation enthusiasts. 4. **Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 38 (7.8) - Price Estimate: $720** - Brand (7.0), History & Innovation (6.5), Rarity (6.5), Material (7.0), Dials & Design (7.0), Movement (7.5), Complications (6.0), Functions (7.5), Versatility (7.5) - Versatile field watch with a classic design, offering good value and reliability. 5. **Sinn EZM 3 603 (7.5) - Price Estimate: $1,900** - Brand (7.0), History & Innovation (6.0), Rarity (6.0), Material (7.0), Dials & Design (6.5), Movement (7.0), Complications (6.0), Functions (7.0), Versatility (7.0) - Functional dive watch with a focus on practicality, though it overlaps with other Sinn models in the collection.
