    They found their way to the Omega Boutique.

    from Lug to Lug.
    3.

    The Speedmaster line expanded to include ladies watches.
    4.
    (used for expressing contact or contiguity) on; against; beside; upon:

    Added lume to the markers.

    adverb
    1.
    toward a point, person, place, or thing, implied or understood.

    5.
    extremely; very:

    Lose
    verb (used with object), lost, losing.
    1.
    to come to be without (something in one's possession or care),through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect ofrecovery:

    I'm sure I've merely misplaced my watch, not lost it.
    2.
    to fail inadvertently to retain (something) in such a way that it cannotbe immediately recovered:

    I just lost a Seamaster in a fluke boating mishap.
    3.
    (of a clock or watch) to run slower by:

    I'm waiting for deployant vs deployment :whistling:

    ...though there are two sides to that argument, each backed by many who are too worked up over it to write in a manner that reflects their true feelings. In short, they're too high-strung to write right.
