## Collection Strengths, Ideas for Improvement, Downsizing Advice
- **Collection Strengths**: Exceptional design diversity, versatile sport and dress utility, innovative material and movement mix.
- **Ideas for Improvement**:
1. Add a chronograph (e.g., Zenith Chronomaster Original, ~$7,000) to enhance Complications depth and sport appeal.
2. Include a GMT watch (e.g., Tudor Black Bay GMT, ~$4,000) for Travel versatility.
3. Upgrade rarity with a limited-edition luxury piece (e.g., Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy, ~$7,000) for exclusivity.
- **Downsizing Advice**: Remove Casio G-Shock 40th Anniversary Forged Carbon—its digital quartz movement contrasts with the mechanical focus, slightly reducing thematic cohesion.
