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. smile

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 ...

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

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"

military "top secret" gag. Some of the information are simply, non existent, some are still...cloaked under it! On top of that, consider the 1966 Florence's flood that wiped out a substantial section of the day-to-day archives and you'll get to the conclu...

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 ...

LOL! [nt]

Very nice brown "degrade" dial but only 30m WR like the PAM 249

Why not 100m WR like the other Rads?
