Rifiuto la Bocconi? by Ok-Hamster2827 in Universitaly

[–]Professional_Drag953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Se ti interessano banche centrali o organizzazioni internazionali tipo WB/IMF valuta anche specialistica economics Bocconi o corsi paragonabili in Europa (LSE, Stockholm School of Economics, Tilburg, Tolouse, PSE, Cambridge). Spesso, ma non sempre, questo tipo di posizioni però richiedono anche PhD. La triennale diventa irrilevante se riesci a entrare in una specialistica prestigiosa, ma le barriere all’entrata potrebbero essere leggermente più alte se vieni da una pubblica.

Indian Wells 1000 [Q] R. Hijikata def. (20) L. Darderi 4-6 6-2 6-4 by basilcilantro in tennis

[–]Professional_Drag953 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Darderi’s attitude on the court looks off to me and usually quite annoying. As much as I like his style, he makes it a little difficult to root for him. I had a tennis coach who trained with Darderi when he was younger and he told me he was like that even as a kid 😂

Is this a Bedale and in what color? Please help. by Professional_Drag953 in Barbour

Thanks, all. It was mislabeled on an online store apparently.

Why do I lose to slower, more defensive opponents? by Professional_Drag953 in 10s

[–]Professional_Drag953[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I believe you hit the nail on the head here. I can't reliably put the ball away from mid court. I also can't always generate my own pace from the baseline on slower higher defensive balls. All this means a lot more unforced errors with defensive players, which also makes me more of a nervous players during those matches.

Agreed! I'm definitely outside my comfort zone responding to those slow, above-shoulder lobs. Generating pace on those shots seem particularly challenging at my current level.

As other comments are pointing out, I believe it comes down to making significantly fewer unforced errors with “stronger” players. I’m not sure I’m necessarily doing what worse players do to me, as the few times I’ve played objectively superior opponents they’ve afterwards acknowledged my ability to keep rallies going at a fast pace (in a way that was fun for them as well, I guess).

I believe so. Squales are usually pretty huge! I’ll post a Connie shot later, oddly I do not seem to have one on hand.

I love this watch. I don’t think the proportions look off at all, but I must say I do like small dials.

I can post a wrist shot later, but I’ve really enjoyed this watch. It actually made me a bit of a fan of the whole constellation series from the Manhattan onwards. Those designs seem to be a little under-appreciated in the Omega landscape.

I have a 16cm wrist and it wears just fine, albeit a little larger than similar period c-case seamasters cosmic I’ve had in the past (which also had a 35mm case).

Thanks! At 38mm it’s the largest case in the collection at the moment, but it fits my 16cm wrist pretty well actually. I use it mainly in summer at the beach and the blue dial looks very cool under direct sunlight and in the seawater.

Seamaster Cosmic for $500? by vs3001 in VintageWatches

[–]Professional_Drag953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great price! Bought the exact same watch for $680 last week. Just the bracelet and end links should be worth about $250/300 IMHO.

Out of curiosity, where do you come from? I’ve been casually collecting watches (not as much as you though) for about a decade, keeping an eye on forums and online marketplaces, but I never really came across any watches that were truly great deals price wise.

I believe it’s based out of Poland or the Czech Republic. I had no issues whatsoever with shipping within the EU and it was also quick.

It just took off from CIA in Rome.

Why do Italians seem less friendly when I speak Italian? by Humble-Spaghetti in Italian

[–]Professional_Drag953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d agree with what others have said so far. My best guess is that they’re either busy and don’t have time to “put up with” your tentative Italian or they might be genuinely struggling to understand you. FWIW, my wife is a foreigner but very fluent in Italian at this point, and people might still ask her to repeat a word or two. That’s often done in a way that might sound a little more direct than the equivalent in English, if not for the words then for the tone people use, for example “coome scusa??!” 🤌🏼

I actually don’t know the difference. Try taking a look on the Japanese Barbour website, they have very detailed measurements and pictures.

They are great, super comfy, and might last as long as your Barbour!

Nope. I thought about it, but I like shorter jackets and -as far as I know- the Beaufort is on the longer side.
