First of all, I have to congratulate you on your current collection, which is awesome. There are two which caught my interest: The Duometre QL Enamel, a pure beauty, and the 6542.
I would love to see pictures of your 6542!
Then, I also have to congratulate you on your effort on reducing your collection. That is something I am painfully working on.
As for your targets, I would add the Duometre à Chronographe, especially the WG Black dial, a killer piece and one of the finest and most original modern Chronograph. But you would not be able to swim with it.
I would also consider a no worries watch, such as the Tudor BB. You will be able to swim with it, and even dings will increase your pleasure, it is a watch made for them.
Best,
Nicolas
Travel watch recomendation to compliment eccletic collection
Lately I have been consolidating my watch collection and have mostly settled to keep only the ones that still bring joy. The funny thing is that I have all sold off all my watches from well-known brands. I feel like I've gone through enough trends to take...

Lot of good options these days
What about new Vacheron Overseas dual time? 3 straps, 12atm... You do already have Octo but perhaps the new satin brushed with 100WR would be up your alley. New Moser streamliner chronograph in blue would also fit the bill. Perhaps new Santos in skeleton ...
If I had to choose
the stand out watches from your collection would be the Gronefeld Remontoire, the Rolex 6263 (my favourite ever Daytona) and your incoming Frodsham which is an awesome watch and is arguably the one watch with a movement to rival your Gronefeld (leaving Fe...
wow, great collection
and to consider the MB$F perpetual and the De Bethune tool watches is pretty next level too I have been happy for many years with a JLC Master Hometime on the steel bracelet for that purpose but I assume that is not what you are going for... How about the...
Congrats on a nice and well curated collection! I would say that Rolex, JLC, etc. are perhaps not "top tier" (in the sense that Patek or Lange, AP, etc. are), but certainly very "well known" ;-)
It's probably not the suggestion you are looking for, but the Aquanaut 5164 (dual time) would seem a perfect choice for me here -- in terms of travel, water resistance, and also general versatility. And you might even find yourself wearing it daily when y...
I would also like to congratulate you first on your taste in watches,
Particularly the Frodsham which has held my fascination till today. Not something that can be said for most watches. As for your travel watch, may I suggest the Laurent Ferrier Grand Sport? With a both classically styled yet sporty watch case, and a (surp...
Thanks for everyone’s input so far
Really appreciate all the kind words and suggestions so far. I’d love to share some photos of my collection, but will have to do it piecemeal due some being in storage. But with the lockdown/pandemic, I’ve been wearing my duo of the Bulgari OF and Duometr...
If you can get an LM Perpetual EVO, I'd say go for it!
The LM perpetual is already one of the best PCs out there, and the EVO is the best iteration of it yet. I'm less of a fan of the sports DBs just in terms of the aesthetics, maybe I'd change my mind if I saw one in person. I will say however that MB&F and ...
