Collector Description

Just got my 6th Watch to finish the case!
Any suggestions if I get another Box? I Like fun unique looking watches under $500.
Finally finished my collection and super pumped. At first wanted all unique brands so had a Casio because the internet said they’re great and a Moonswatch but didn’t fall in love with them. Everything here I know I want to wear daily.
Also have a Emporio thats not really my style but got for my HS graduation and was my first watch so somewhat sentimental. Thinking I might try to find a funky strap to dress it up. Any suggestions? Also it needs a new battery for that one. Will be my first time. Any suggestions also on where to take cheaper watches to get a new battery?

## Collection Summary
**"Eclectic Timepieces"**
This collection, aptly named "Eclectic Timepieces," showcases a diverse array of watches that blend artistic expression with horological innovation. The collection excels in its unique design elements and thematic alignment, particularly with the inclusion of Mr Jones watches, known for their whimsical and artistic dials. The standout piece, the Xeric Trappist-1 Automatic NASA Edition Apollo 11 LE-1969, adds a touch of historical significance and exclusivity, celebrating the Apollo 11 mission with its limited edition status. This collection is ideal for a collector who appreciates artistic and unconventional designs, with a penchant for storytelling through timepieces.
The collection's strengths lie in its Dials & Design Metric, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and originality, particularly with the Mr Jones watches, which are renowned for their creative and thought-provoking designs. The collection also scores well in the Rarity Metric, with limited edition pieces like the Xeric Trappist-1 and the Sugess 1963 MoonPhase Master StarDust, adding a layer of exclusivity. The intended collector profile is someone who values artistic expression and unique narratives in their watches, rather than traditional luxury or high-end complications.

## Collection Strengths, Ideas for Improvement, Downsizing Advice
### Collection Strengths
The collection's key strengths lie in its artistic and original designs, particularly from Mr Jones, which offer a unique narrative and visual appeal. The limited edition status of the Xeric Trappist-1 and Sugess 1963 MoonPhase Master StarDust adds exclusivity and rarity, enhancing the collection's appeal to collectors who value unique and limited pieces.
### Ideas for Improvement
1. **Enhance Movement Complexity**: Introduce a watch with a more complex movement to elevate the Movement Metric. Consider the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time, which offers a more intricate automatic movement with a power reserve indicator.
2. **Increase Versatility**: Add a watch with higher water resistance and lume for increased functionality. The Seiko Prospex Diver's Watch would provide robust features suitable for active use.
3. **Diversify Materials**: Incorporate a watch with unique materials, such as ceramic or titanium, to improve the Material Metric. The Rado True Thinline offers a sleek ceramic case that would add material diversity.
### Downsizing Advice
To improve the collection's cohesiveness and focus, consider removing one of the Mr Jones watches, such as "A Perfectly Useless Afternoon," which overlaps in style and theme with other Mr Jones pieces. This would streamline the collection and enhance its overall thematic alignment.
