Thanks for your clarification Poy...
It seems like there are endless variation of dial and hands combination on vintage Panerai...
And I thought the new white gold Radiomir California has the wrong hand combination...
Again, thanks for sharing such beautiful Panerai to us..
Cheers,
Sam
Sorry to PAM 249 & PAM 262 Owners... Allow me to be a poser a little ;-)
Nico, sorry buddy, but remember you asked for it... , maintenant tu creuses LOL...
Pose anytime that fine beauty!
Wow...care to share some background on the piece? more photos?
Yeah I agree he can pose anytime.
More photos would be much appreciated. Best regards, George
I totally don't mind....
You posting that kind of beauties... I'd enjoy them everyday POY! I have a question for you regarding the hands, is that hand original or a replacement brass hands? I've never seen any 3646 California dial with gold colored hands.... Best, Sam
2 sets of hands are appropriate for the California 3646
The most known hands for the California are the same hands as the 3646 PANERAI Radiomir, but the brass hands as on this watch were also correct on the later Rolex California version. This message has been edited by PoyFR on 2011-05-11 02:39:37

Not that many configurations, and some aren't exactly PANERAI
In the case of a 3646 California, many refer to it as a PANERAI piece, but nothing shows anything else than it being a pure and simply Rolex watch. Regarding the hands, they aren't many hands configurations for any of the Rolex/Panerai models: 2533, 3646,...
Interesting.....
So basically a Vintage Panerai is no different than a Rolex watch... As it is basically made by Rolex to Panerai's specification... And I totally aware and understood that so many different combination of hands and even crowns is caused by the shortage of...
No like the 249 but YES resembling closely to the first set of the 3646! more...

Thanks for the clarification, POY. I always thought that ...
On the 2533 and the 3646, the dial came from Rolex... Can you tell us when, according to you, the 2533 came, I mean, which year? According to Panerai, it came in 1937, but I thought it was before the 3646, so, somewhere in 1935... Best, and thanks for thi...
The Rolex/PANERAI 2533 came out in 1936 (they are docs to prove it!)
The Rolex/PANERAI 3646 was introduced late 1937 replacing the Rolex 2533 which was inefficient under-water (lately (finally) I saw many corresponding letters between Rolex and Panerai refering this issue (water-resistance) for all 2533 that were going bac...
You see? I was quite sure it was end of 1935... I was wrong.
And I was also convinced there were much less than 16 2533. Thanks for these great informations, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
Agree with you, POY...
Nothing can beat the original. Nothing! Cool set of hands, Amigo. Best, Tuco, who is still digging ... Digging... Digging.
Are you kidding.....
posing it's integral part of purchasing a piece like that. For my money....POSE AWAY...and enjoy every bit of it.. Cheers - Sergio ps Everyone knows that dating and seducing a beautiful woman it's nothing if you can't "share" it with your best friend...ri...
