Very nice post, Guille

What a great hommage ot the 3646!

Which one do you prefer, at the end?

The Cali or the " normal " dial ?

You're indeed right about the fact that the Rad is the soul of Panerai, even if it is basically a ...Rolex watch.

But the Roots of Panerai are the " Laboratorio de ideas ", and the Rad was not the first tool developed by this brand ( since 1860 ), but the first experience ( 2533 apart ).

And it had a hard life, before, during and after the war.

I think that with every Vintage Panerai , there is a story behind, to learn, to listen to.

And even more with the Radiomir, indeed.

Where I'm a bit amazed is when you say that the 6152 was not produced until 1954...

I always thought that it was a bit before...Something around end 40 ies, but not that late.

Anyway, a Vintage Panerai is a must in a Collection of Diving watch, and a nightmare, too, if we consider that their value has reached the sky.

A 6152 4 Lines, a 6154 ( Aaah, this small egiziano will ever be a phantasm for me ), the 3646 are my 3 favourite Vintage.

But I would be happy with any other!



Thanks for this post, Guille, it reminds us thez good old time!

Best,

Nicolas
