No love for the 42mm?

Having spent much of the past couple of days searching, I'm coming to the conclusion that rep 42mm Radiomirs (even fantasies) are indeed as rare as hen's teeth.

Love the look of the 65 and 67 (attached).

I'm assuming it's because many of the 42mm Rads were limited editions along with the trend for larger watches. To counter my own argument, there were a good number of PAM 098s I suppose.

Anyway, maybe things will change with the 336/337/338. Kinda pinning my hope on success in Asia (!). Would the new movement/thickness make life difficult for the factories?

Any views?

Sadly these were never rep'd. The 42mm chrono's weren't big sellers when they were around so its unlikely the newer 42's will see the light of day.

Sad they didn't sell, for me they would be perfect. Tried both 44 and 45 mm but I feel they are too big, so 42 would be ultimate... Got to save up for a gen!

Just can't bring myself to go for 44mm+ on my scrawny wrists - I'm neither beefy nor trendy enough! The thinner 42mm Radiomirs would also wear smaller as well... would be great for work. 40mm just seems too small although that's what I wear daily. The more I look at the PAMs here, the more I like them. Curses.
