Thanks to the big Trade Forum push that got us onto Watch Recon, I was reminded that there is more than one way to add watches. Seriously, I'd forgotten about trades. Thanks to some nice trades, I turned good watches I wasn't wearing into new watches that I'm excited about. Thanks to two of our members, I'm now the proud owner of these divers. Trading works! Cash-free additions!  7548-700F, hereby nicknamed "Ol' Smokey", April '85  7548-700A, February '78. Relumed H&M hands. I thought the "A" models were orange-dialed? Educate me please.  7N36-7A08, February '97. LOVE this watch, love it. Love the two-tone hands, the orange sweep. LOVE IT.  Lastly, a sideways shot of a near mint 7N36-7A09, like almost new, July '94  |

You're preaching to the recently converted, Spencer! Our transaction marks the third trade for me this year. Prior to that, I had not really considered it as an option because well as you say, it was never about the money. As I anxiously await the arrival of this one;  I can recall with a smile getting these two in straight swaps;   |

Thank you Spencer. I'm happy to have this in my collection. Have always preferred the square indices on the SKX series and the fact the indices on this SKX399 are framed is a bonus!   |

I need that orange dial 7548. Trade Chris the 7N36 for it and I'll trade him some silver and everyone wins That's how the wife swapping Mormons do it  |
