You posting that kind of beauties... I'd enjoy them everyday POY! I have a question for you regarding the hands, is that hand original or a replacement brass hands? I've never seen any 3646 California dial with gold colored hands.... Best, Sam
2 sets of hands are appropriate for the California 3646

The most known hands for the California are the same hands as the 3646 PANERAI Radiomir, but the brass hands as on this watch were also correct on the later Rolex California version. This message has been edited by PoyFR on 2011-05-11 02:39:37
Thanks for your clarification Poy...

It seems like there are endless variation of dial and hands combination on vintage Panerai... And I thought the new white gold Radiomir California has the wrong hand combination... Again, thanks for sharing such beautiful Panerai to us.. Cheers, Sam
Not that many configurations, and some aren't exactly PANERAI

In the case of a 3646 California, many refer to it as a PANERAI piece, but nothing shows anything else than it being a pure and simply Rolex watch. Regarding the hands, they aren't many hands configurations for any of the Rolex/Panerai models: 2533, 3646,...
Interesting.....

So basically a Vintage Panerai is no different than a Rolex watch... As it is basically made by Rolex to Panerai's specification... And I totally aware and understood that so many different combination of hands and even crowns is caused by the shortage of...
Thanks for the clarification, POY. I always thought that ...

On the 2533 and the 3646, the dial came from Rolex... Can you tell us when, according to you, the 2533 came, I mean, which year? According to Panerai, it came in 1937, but I thought it was before the 3646, so, somewhere in 1935... Best, and thanks for thi...
The Rolex/PANERAI 2533 came out in 1936 (they are docs to prove it!)
By: PoyFR : May 15th, 2011-00:54
The Rolex/PANERAI 3646 was introduced late 1937 replacing the Rolex 2533 which was inefficient under-water (lately (finally) I saw many corresponding letters between Rolex and Panerai refering this issue (water-resistance) for all 2533 that were going bac...
