It's not a literal translation but we use a Latin expression in English "quid pro quo" which comes near it and could probably be used in that fashion.

I will go with Quid Pro Quo it sounds about right

BTW the reason I need it is to have it engraved on my new Omega Seamaster

My Latin is well rusty but "Quid Pro Quo" is more or less "Have this for that" or "Something for something".
