I would not go for it.

You will miss the Nautilus. I had two similar experiences with things I sold and regretted till bought them again: the 911 997 Turbo and the 5711 1A. Both came back at much higher prices but I had to find my peace. If you still like the Nautilus, don’t trade it.
Sorry for being totally opposite than your position. 🤭

Advice needed on an internal struggle I could use some help with.

I may have an opportunity to trade my Nautilus 5726/1A Grey dial for a Grönefeld Remontoire 1941 with guilloche dial by Kari Voutilanen. What would you do? I really enjoy my Nautilus, and the thought of not having one gives me some pause. On the other han...
I think I agree with you

The OP didn't state whether cash was included one way or the other, but I'd need some cash coming my way if I was to give up the 5726. Having said that, I don't think I'd do the trade anyway. For me, the Nautilus is both a better looking and more practica...

Some feelings on the Grönefeld.
By: BMR : August 5th, 2019-11:48
I really was taken by it when I was able to try a friend’s piece earlier this year. The size is great, the movement and finishing are excellent, a remontoire is not a complication I currently have in my collection and I like the family story of why they c...
A VERY personal choice...

I know I'm in the minority here but I'd do it in a heartbeat! If the PP was a 5070, maybe not. Still, follow your heart, not mine.

I give you 8-1.

With Kari dial. Count me in.
Another one...

For the Patek. As shared in a previous post, you will always have chances to afford new timepieces in the future, but it’s harder to have that special moment of getting a more collectible watch with your own name on it at the Patek dealer. It’s something ...
I didn't see that 5726/1As are trading for over $100K.

If that's the case, I agree that you need to be getting more for the trade. I think a 1941 with Kari dial should be priced in the 50-70K range depending on material, condition, and dial type. Regardless, I'd cash in on the nautilus hype and sell.
I would trade the Nauty in a heartbeat.

In a world where we strive for exclusivity, the Nautilus is more common. When I saw the Gronefeld , I was so impressed that I was very close to purge some of my watches for it .You can get the Patek back later on if you wish . So I’m all for the trade . ...
Keep the Nautilus...

the way Nautilus is moving in the market - almost beyond a blue-chip Fortune 10 share, just by value I wouldn’t trade it. Nothing personal, Strictly business 😜 Horologically speaking you have all the reasons to trade for a Gronefeld!
It's a very difficult question.
By: nafetS : August 6th, 2019-00:21
I myself Had the possibility few years ago to buy a 5726 at the AD and didn't do it. I did buy a Grönefeld, though, so my Overall choice would definitly be the Remontoire. The question of swapping both now is much more difficult. If you do like the 5726 a...
😁🤗

Its such a great watch imho . But you need to follow your own feelings , after all you need to wear it 🤗
Go with the one that moves you the most.

Something really special to me having the Remontoire on my wrist, it just seems perfect. The WG with the KV dial is absolutely stunning. I know it is a difficult decision for you but make your choice and don’t look back.
