Crazy amazing condition...
This watch really is in amazing condition.
The crystal was replaced in the 07-08 Panerai service which cost more than many new Panerai.
It runs like a dream and winds like it should.
The hands have a different luminescent material than the dial.
I don't believe either are radioactive, hence the dial doesn't look like the vintage Radiomir dials that have radioactive burn marks.
Needless to say, I feel so lucky just to get a chance to own it.
Thanks
Bill

If I had to have only one Panerai, this would be it. It involved selling off quite a bit of my collection but something like this almost never comes up for sale. The pieces that were moved can always be replaced. I don't think I'll ever see another one li...
A Vintage Panerai is " Uber alles " Modern Panerais, even the Pre Vs.
A Vintage Panerai is the " Real Mac Coy ", the original, the roots, History. Nothnig can't beat that, IMO. If I had to get ONE, and only ONE, Panerai, it would be a small Egiziano, or a " 4 lines "... Well, it is like I said " if I win the Lottery ". I wo...
Über alles....
Thanks. For me, it's a piece of historical magic that ticks. It really is a amazing 73 year old!! Cheers, Bill
You'v hauled yourself a beast!

Stephan, Thanks. I have been looking for a 3646 Cali dial for years. I didn't ever expect to see anything in this condition. It's really immaculate for being as old as it is. Cheers, Bill
What a magnificent piece you got there Bill!
It might seems to be difficult to part with some of your collection.. But you're right, this kind of thing almost never comes up in the market.. All the others can easily be replaced.. Major congrats on such an amazing piece! Best regards, Sam
Thanks
Much appreciated. The pieces I've moved are popular and always up for sale. I don't think I'll be missing them one bit. Cheers Bill

I am very fortunate to be able to manage acquiring this piece and the others I have. And This watch has been around for decades but I'd never seen a photo of it nor knew of it. These things like this are to be shared and the post is in the spirit of shari...

Thanks!!
Yes Dan and I've been talking about getting a 3646 for quite a while. Several have come up but none with a Cali dial and none that really worked for my tastes. Then he called me with this one and well....... I couldn't say no. And I appreciate the thought...
it is Goegeous
and almost every PanePurist (Horo's Term) Collector's Dream but i wouldn't Sell most of my Watches for just having 1 . thanks for sharing
Well.....
If I had to have only one Panerai, this would be it. I didn't sell everything, far from it. I only sold pieces I could acquire easily again and hadn't worn in several years. Selling them really isn't a problem at all. I never thought I'd see, let alone ha...
Bill- absolutely amazing!!
