## Collection Strengths, Ideas for Improvement, Downsizing Advice

### Collection Strengths

The collection's key strengths lie in its robust selection of diving watches, high brand recognition, and technical depth in movements. The presence of iconic models like the Rolex Submariner and Tudor Submariner enhances its appeal to enthusiasts who value heritage and performance.

### Ideas for Improvement

1. **Increase Complication Variety**: Introduce a watch with more advanced complications, such as a chronograph or GMT function, to enhance the Complications Metric. Example: Omega Speedmaster Professional (Price: ~$6,500).

2. **Expand Material Diversity**: Add a watch with unique materials, such as ceramic or titanium, to improve the Material Metric. Example: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Ceramic (Price: ~$5,500).

3. **Enhance Versatility**: Include a dress watch to broaden the collection's versatility and cover more use cases. Example: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin (Price: ~$7,000).

### Downsizing Advice

Consider removing the Seiko SKX013 Diver, as it overlaps significantly with the other diving watches and has a lower impact on the collection's overall metrics. This would streamline the collection and enhance its focus on higher-end models.
