Can you get an iPhone in Toronto?

Yes you can get an iphone in Toronto, if they are in stock. There is an apple store at the Eatons Center on Young Street. Yes. iPhones are easy to find in local cell phone shops - the same places you would go to buy an unlocked razr or an old used phone. The prices are very high though, like around 750 for an 8gb. It is cheaper to buy an iPhone from the USA then bring it up here to have someone (at these stores) unlock it for 75 bucks. This response was written on a brand new iPhone purchased in the USA, unlocked in Toronto and in use on fido... In Toronto. Lots of people in Toronto have started creating Iphone Apps for extra money. If you want to learn more about this growing industry you can go to my hubpage "Iphone Toronto" at http://hubpages.com/hub/Iphone-Toronto

What is the history of an Eaton pocket watch serial number 2681793?

Most Eatons pocket watches were imported from Switzerland, and were originally made by Gallet. The one I have is serial 177698 and is (i believe) from the 1920's. That would suggest that yours is from the 30's or 40's. You may sometimes here that Eatons pocket watches have Rolex movments, but that seems to only be their "1/4 century club" presentation watches (and it's somewhat moot anyway because Rolex didn't make Pocketwatches, they bought mostly from Cortebert and just finished them in house).
