Very interesting answer, Poy. Indeed, the Cali was basically a Rolex, while the " non Cali " had the Panerai dial, at least. But this was the only no Rolex part. ;) New tie, then?
Panerai Rolex 3646: How do you like it? California or " normal " dial?

Very nice! I'm far from being a Panerai expert, but these Panerais are really fascinating! In particular, the second 3646 is the only other reference I've ever seen, besides the 721, with a non-California, anonymous dial! ;-)
There are several anonymous Cali dials, of course, even among the modern offering (including my 249)! However, has Panerai ever produced any other *non-California, anonymous* references besides the 721 and the 3646, modern or even vintage? Panerai's produ...
I like this Cali Luminor!
I remember one photo where you showed it with a black rubber strap during your holidays. I think it works even better with this brown leather strap. Looks really great, my friend!

As a PANERAI (MM) reference, the 3646 Radiomir

Top right is an anonymous Kampfschwimmer dial with fake Rinaldi engravings.
Hello Yves, the story of how our Tuscan amico came into possession of dozens of anonymous Kampfschwimmer dials is quite interesting. They were found at the old Arturo Junghans watch factory in La Giudecca, Venice in the early 1990s . At the time, the old ...
Thank you José for your always in depth precisions on the topic
I do not consider historical pieces any 2533, 3646, 6152's that are not as modified by G. PANERAI. I am not interested in any parts that relates to the 'amigos' and less friendly parties that produced look alike pieces, this why I said… ‘To me the only le...
I’ll get any of these 2 Panerai Rolexes if they ever come my way.
But since this is a dream and I can choose between 2 unicorns I’ll take the Cali dial.
