Re Complete
I would say complete when you can’t think of a wearing situation that you don’t have covered and you can’t rotate anymore on the wrist (unless it’s purely value speculation)

Welcome !
A beautiful variety of special pieces, congratulations! The 5170p is top here, followed by 5196p imho.
No collection can ever be complete.
That is the attraction of collecting. It’s a never ending journey and one that IMO you can never complete or finish. With regards to the straps I have the same one watch as you and I put this strap on it which makes it less formal and injects a bit of fun...
