Yes, I've read that. The point is that why is it only Type D (KS) 3646 w/ anon dials made by Panerai that should be included in this period when in fact

it should be all 3646 Types D, E. F. and G including those fitted with the celebrated California dials by Stern and the "ugly" Brass dials presumably made by Junghans that were all delivered to the KS in the same way.
The Type E 3646 with California dials are even more anonymous than the the Type D 3646 with anonymous Panerai dials as the Type E's don't even have Rolex stamps on the movements or the inner case backs as supposedly Rolex didn't want to be associated with them. Yet no one bats an eye that these watches have been recreated faithfully or "fancifully" by Richemont many times already (PAM 249, 448, 424, 779, 718, etc).
Aren't Cali dial watches by Richemont then supposed to be disrespectful to the Panerai family as well?
Am I wrong?

Good eye with the loops. It’s true and not true. There are different models. The one shown on pereszopes report has indeed more open loops. That might have been a nice add on. the D 3646 on his poster has again the same one as the 721. More open dials wou...
Kampfschwimmer sandwich dials

There are indeed two types of Kampfschwimmer sandwich dials. The first batch with almost closed loops and the second batch with open loops. The second batch is more common, at least in my database. More details about these dials can be found here: perezco...
thx Jose for the clarification.

what is your general view about the 721? I am aware about your article. But straight forward your view about this homage? Top or flop? Greetings
Imo too thick compared to original Kampfschwimmer watches

The issue seems to be the height of the P.3000 but hey, if you like the looks it's certainly a nice watch. To me it's a watch that due to its history and the circumstances under which they were delivered – out of respect for the Panerai family – should ne...
Neither were any 3646 of any type

Rolex made them for Panerai and Panerai only supplied the dials BUT they didn’t even supply all the dials. For the California dial watches you can say that these are 0% Panerai as the dials were made by Stern for Rolex. At least the 3,6,9,12 dials in the ...

and in consequence, the Nazi regime sent several Divisions to occupy their former ally and secure their "soft underbelly". This is a very important piece of the puzzle to understand what really happened during those days in Florence. For Panerai this was ...
All 3646 (Type D, E, F & G) made in 1944 went to the Nazis

Yes, all of them could be considered disrespectful towards the Panerai family. The thing is, when the 249 came out in 2006, nobody called them out. I wrote about it here: Cheers Jose Pereztroika
That was an unfortunate time in history putting it lightly but

it's still part of Panerai history. The good along with the bad. It's bad what happened to the Panerai family at this time, but I still appreciate the beauty of the watches they made in this era and that's the context in which I place them.
