U.S. Supreme Court Will Examine Costco Sale of Omega Watches
In a case that could have wide-ranging implications for so-called “gray-market” goods, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether manufacturers can use U.S. copyright law to prevent their foreign-made goods from appearing on web sites and store shelves at U.S. discounters such as Costco, Amazon, Target, and others. The case began in 2004 after Costco sold 43 Omega Seamasters for $1299, then about $700 below Omega’s MSRP.

Elgin Trench Watch
I just acquired a 1919 (?) Elgin Trench Watch which runs beautifully. The dial is almost perfect. The former owner replaced the strap and in doing so, it appears that he/she dislodged one of the wire lugs. Can these wire lugs be repaired (soldered???)I am a rookie with these trench watches. I have two and neither has the wire lugs.HELP.

Now this is classy!
