Thanks, Wolfgang. Welcome, Dominik.
What do Robert Morris, John Witherspoon, and Wolfgang Blum have in common? They belong to the fraternity of lesser-known founding fathers. WatchTime readers surely know the names Joe Thompson, Norma Buchanan and Mark Bernardo �C our Washington, Jefferson and Franklin. A few trivia nuts may even know who Howard Fine is. But as your eyes move down the masthead, toward the bottom, you'll find the name of the man who made it all possible �C Wolfgang Blum. Blum is WatchTime‘s founding father, and this week, he formally steps down to return to his native Germany, his work complete. As Joe Thompson writes in the tribute that appears in the December issue (on newsstands soon), Blum is the person WatchTime��s parent company Ebner Verlag tapped to launch the magazine in 1999.

First Panerai: PAM384
Hi All,Long time lurker first time poster here and thought it was finally time I jumped into the mix. I finally pulled the trigger last week and bought a PAM384 from a fellow member here.
