Yes we all do have copies on our desk and next to our bed, so what’s your message with the lovely Panerai?

Panerai (on a distressed leather strap) + good reading = excellence!

I had a copy of that, kept near perfect time. Gave it to a friend who had his genuine Blue silver and gold Rolex stolen! (Not much compensation but didn't need worry about it being stolen).

Really? I would say that the book is somewhat unnecessary. Civility, manners, respect & decency should be instilled in you by your parents or guardians as a child. I don't need to turn to a book to tell me how to behave & interact with my peers, whether they are a window cleaner or the CEO of a financial institution.

Irrespective of your nationality, colour, creed, ethnicity, wealth or sexual persuasion, I am respectful & polite until you give me good reason not to be. I can thank my mother for this behaviour without any assistance from George Washington. Relying on a book seems overly complicated 👍

It's not for reading, it's for hitting someone that's being rude. It's light so it won't do a lot of damage. You have to use War and Peace for that.

It's necessary for those who never had a proper upbringing.
