That changes things. First off, the 5711/1R is stunning and I like it so much better than the SS version, but again that's personal taste.

The proposed trade seems reasonable to me given current market values. My only real point of concern would be are you going to wear the 5711/1R? That seems to me a piece you need to be very careful with, and not something as "wearable" as the two you'd be departing with.
Yes you are right. 5711/1R is not really a daily wearer. 5167R would be relatively more versatile.

I still remembered I saw a 5711/1R on display in an AD a few years ago but had not picked it up because I don't have the fund at that time. Instead, I bought the 5167R and wore it happily for a few years. Just recently I suddenly come up with the idea to trade it up for a gold bracelet nautilus and also depart with the 26470OR, which is too heavy and bulky so it doesn't get much of my wrist time.
