Introduce a dedicated GMT or worldtimer to enhance travel functionality without overlap. 2. Add a vintage-inspired piece to boost historical depth and uniqueness. 3. Unify around a sports theme by swapping the dress watch for another diver or field model. ## Downsizing Advice At six watches, this covers most bases well, but for tighter curation down to four, retain the Rolex Datejust for everyday luxury, Tudor Black Bay Ceramic for robust tooling, Baltic Chapter 7.1 for microbrand flair, and Orient Bambino for dress duties—sell the Tag Heuer and Moonswatch chronos, as their quartz functions overlap and could fetch $1,800+ to fund upgrades like a Grand Seiko addition. ## Watch by Watch Summary - **Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph CAU111E.FT6024**: Robust quartz racing chrono with 200m resistance, ideal for motorsport enthusiasts on a budget. - **Tudor Black Bay Ceramic**: Tough automatic GMT with ceramic bezel and 70-hour power reserve, a COSC-certified daily beater with heritage appeal. - **Rolex Datejust II 41 116334**: Elegant steel-and-gold 41mm auto with date window, the versatile collection centerpiece holding strong resale value. - **Moonswatch Mission to the Moon**: Whimsical bioceramic quartz Speedmaster tribute with moon graphics, fun casual wear at entry-level pricing. - **Baltic BA1110D Chapter 7.1**: Value-packed 39mm diver on Miyota automatic with sapphire and high lume, standout microbrand performer. - **Orient Bambino V2 Small Seconds**: Charming automatic dress watch with sub-seconds dial and domed crystal, perfect affordable formal option. **A.I.
