Vintage Panerai Radiomir rivet dial project complete

[Duane Stinson]

Finally finished up this 1940s Panerai 3646 project. Used a 1940s Cortebert/Rolex 620R movement and lightly aged and re-shaped the case, rivet dial, and Brevet crown. Had the hands lightly aged and re-lumed (used espresso on the lume for a aged look). Mounted a band to the fixed lugs I got from a guy in the UK that was made from a 1950s Swiss Army ammo pouch. It came out great!! ​

Great work! The leather strap looks amazing and Espresso for the hands is a very good idea.

Thanks! I had the same strap maker in the UK make this one also. He does great work.

Messed with the dial today and was able to get the numbers closer to the color of the hands lume!

Lovely with the cortebert, but the buckle kills the vintage-look.

buy a Strap with sew in Buckle.
