Panerai Rolex 3646: How do you like it? California or " normal " dial?

Best,

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 production can be a very fascinating subject, of course with lots of historical interest as well! 
Thanks for sharing.

Ha, in this case, you are right, I don' see any other... If we exclude the platinum Cali 262 and some white gold ones...
I'd be very interested since until now I thought the 721 was the only reference....let's see if some of our experts (Segio, Gerry, etc.) have more, or maybe these two are really it! :-)
Thanks Doctor, but I was interested to see if there exist other *non-Cali, anonymous* references (this one is Cali)...both Radiomir and Luminor would be OK though! :-) Cheers.
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!

In this case the Cali
because on your photo it somehow exerts a special attraction on me.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I don't have a Panerai with Cali dial yet?
Or that I already own a (modern) anonymous Radiomir with the “normal” design? Aka 721.

I was expecting this kind of answer sooner. :)))) But this is also what I would have answered.
But the 249 could be a one Panerai watch for me..
Even if the luminor is more popular
Aaaah, if we are talking Radiomir with wire lug, the Cali would be my only one. If I had to only pick one vintage Panerai, it would be...
This one:
Her Majesty the 6154
As a PANERAI (MM) reference, the 3646 Radiomir
The California dial is to me a Rolex reference and it is not doubt a nice piece too.
For obvious reasons I would never consider a vintage (even re-run) 3646 with 3,6,9,12 unknown and unbranded, they give me goosebumps.
