I have lots of sentimental attachment to ‘things’. It gives them more interest and makes them worth more than just a number. Unless you feel a sentimental pull or desire for another wAtch, I wouldn’t let the 5711 go just because it has a high monetary value right now |

Take it to the next level, and go for an independent.

Don't do it
Honestly you have a really considered collection that contains a little bit of everything!
Unless you have seen a grail that you absolutely must have you should keep it as it is. (Spoken by an inveterate flipper who never takes good advice) |

The 5711 Blue Dial is the most overrated watch on the planet (I own it). The dial is underwhelming 95% of the time and the clasp is not great. However, It is a classic and works with everything IMO... can serve as a dress watch due to thinness and simplicity. Also, It looks great with a t-shirt and jeans. I have owned this watch and when I sold it I broke even or maybe made a grand. The reason for selling was to get into a complicated Patek so the money was staying within the brand. I personally have grown tired of the complicated pieces and regretted letting go of the 5711. I was fortunate to get another one this past year and can say it is a for sure keeper. If you are going to collect Patek my personal opinion is that everyone should have at least one Nautilus. The 5711 is not a watch that will WOW people but one that will always be in style and I think you will miss it if you let her go. Long story short... KEEP IT

This hobby is suppose to be fun so I am absolutely in the boat of if its not getting enough wrist time, then why not put it into something that will. Too many amazing watches out there to not try them all if you had the opportunity. That said, if you do let go of that 5711, just know it will be difficult getting one back if you miss it, so think wisely.

I wouldn’t let the 5711 go unless you were going belly up and needed cash. Even then it’s the last item I’d liquidate

You could trade equal or better on most you are considering except the 5320. Still out of reach at current 5711 prices. Your watch has big marks on the bezel which may lessen your sales prices. The big numbers you see are for 2018 watches in unworn condition.
