    @rinaldypuruhito3613 4 года назад +2

    Truly a beautiful story. It's that random act of kindness from total strangers that makes me still believe in humanity, despite all the negativity in this world. I hope that each member of the Paneristies get that level of support/act of kindness whenever tragedy strikes. And btw, that panerai is gorgeous. Too bad this tiny wrist of mine couldn't rock that beast of a watch.

  • @MarkFenimore
    @MarkFenimore 4 года назад +1
