How do you fellas do a watch trade? Is it all on faith? Mail off the two watches on the same day (or hope to)?

Just curious, thanks.

When I was looking to trade my Chronomat, I only dealt with people with solid references and then would send my watch first and hope everything works out. Luckily, I ended up selling it locally and avoided all of that.

same solid refs, ship same day...if one side has better refs (mods, well known among community, attend lots of GTGs and have pics taken) i'd have no problem shipping first if it's for a piece i really want.
