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!!

I Messed with the dial today and was able to get the numbers closer to the color of the hands lume! The espresso did not take to the resin of course.
