My friend...
I simply mentioned that I personally PREFER a diving watch w/ rotatable bezel. Not saying that the 3646 does NOT qualify as a diving watch at all.
Thanks for sharing your Submersible journey!
Since you have a lot of the different Panerai Submersibles, which dial do you prefer more? The baton hour marker dial or the 12 / 6 hour marker dial? I personally prefer the baton hour marker dial. Cheers, Anthony
