Who would counterfeit a $60 watch? PMWC does have a good reputation,
as well.

You still likely weren't helping the US manufacturing sector. My last
pair of eyeglass frames were made in Austria. (cost a little more
than $239 too) who knows where the lenses were made; I'm sure the US
lab just cut them to size and polished the edges.

The same people who counterfeit $3 CDs & $5 DVDs

No, perhaps not. The frames were made in England, the lenses were made
in Germany, but the cutting and polishing was done by Americans in New
Jersey, the fitting by Americans in Pennsylvania, and the profits also
stayed in the US. Warranty (a very good one) issues may be addressed
without using the mails but by walking up to an actual Human Being who
is paid to address them.

Sure. But, did you purchase them "mail-order"? And who made sure that
both the prescription and fitting was correct?
