A nice photo of the Panerai PAM 687 dial.
Here it is: This sandwich dial has an incredible color. The hands are very much my taste, too; And the Radiomir case with its wire lugs always had a strong impression on me. That was a very cool novelty from 2017! Best, Nicolas ...
It is indeed a 3646..
to confirm the..exhibition and the date (1938) I'll have a look at the "magic book" and get back to you...LOL
There are references about this watch....
in a publication which lies, a bit dusty, on one of my shelves. I'm a bit busy now but, as soon as I'll have a moment I'll look for something informative
My friend Loris....
in his book, only describes it as a...rare 3646 with engraved bezel. He doesn't provide any valid reason why the engraved bezel should be there.
I found out that Giuseppe Panerai possessed....
a volcanic mind and was a "tinkerer". The 3646 with engraved bezel, was produced in the 60' in very few pieces (some 20-30 max) as a show piece and give away. Perhaps, Giuseppe Panerai found some 3646 parts somewhere and simply "did something with them"

Found it comfortable on wrist !
Nico, Great photo. Due to your kodak moment pictures although I am not big fan of Panerai but went for it. So far so good quiet fascinating dial and comfortable on wrist. Cheers ! Gautam ...
I know it does but I'm not....
Henry Ford LOLLL I bought the 605 because of the dial's colour. I've never considered buying a 372 for a nano-second. Fantastic watch, full Panerai DNA, bla...bla...bla but I'll take the 127 every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Very nice brown "degrade" dial but only 30m WR like the PAM 249
Why not 100m WR like the other Rads?
