College Survey: No Need for a Wristwatch
Born when Ross Perot was warning about a giant sucking sound and Bill Clinton was apologizing for causing pain in his marriage, members of this fall's entering college class of 2014 have never written in cursive or worn a wristwatch. In their world, e-mail is way too slow, and Russians and Americans have always been living together in space. Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List. It provides a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college this fall. Created by two Benoit professors, the survey was originally intended as a reminder to faculty to avoid dated cultural references, but over the years it has grown to become a catalog of the rapidly changing worldview of each new generation.This year’s survey reveals that few in the entering class know how to write in cursive, and they rarely if ever use snail mail. Fergie is a pop star, not a princess, and Clint Eastwood is a sensitive director, not Dirt

Pam service issues
Sorry for the repost, but I have pictures in this thread now. I picked up my watch from service about a week ago and I just noticed last night that they brushed the pin on the crown guard and they also did not address the small dent/scratch on the crown guard. I posted a link to the pictures.Would you guys leave it or bring it back? Thanks.imgur/a/iZZue
Sub vs sd43?
Out of curiosity why sub vs sd43? Both diving and depth rated beyond where anyone would dive to. Is one too big or too small depending upon your preference? Sd43 has new movement. Which would you buy and why? If you already have one which did you get and why? And for that matter let’s throw the dssd into the mix. Is that one just too big? Thanks
How do the Grey Sellers get inventory?
TRF,How can the grey sellers who post on the classified forum keep their stock constantly refurbished? A couple of them have websites and it seems like they have 3-5x more watches that my local AD!I just don't get it. I have called around looking for a couple hard to find SS models and all I get is the 1-2 year wait song and dance. Should I just give in to the Grey side and pay them their premium??The best,NB
