PAM380 vs. Other slim Radiomir?

Hi!

I went through ALE's guide to search for a slim profile 45mm Radiomir. It seems that the best option is the PAM380, which suffers from a not very accurate PANERAI inscription.

Any other Radiomir that you would recommend instead?

Cheers!

The model 183 BS is not better than 380.....:unsure:
I would purchase (as I did) the Radiomir 346.
It only has a small flaw , the faux Power Reserve Hand.
The model 346 is considered a sup.rep.
This is my opinion , that can be ok or not.

This is a Kilo rewiew of PAM 183 : https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/171651-PAM-183-H-from-PT-mini-review

I would stick with the 380 even with the flaw on the dial print. It wears very comfortably and can be upgraded with gen parts easily. Mine has a gen crown and gen hands on it at this point.

Radiomirs with an auto movement have thicker case.
380 is the best choice in 45 mm. Or 292 if you like ceramic black.

504 and 232 are great choices in 47 mm although not super reps. The bigger size helps achieving a thinner look.

OR you can go the custom vintage ruote :)

Killawattore forgot to add that building vintage Radiomirs can become a very addictive hobby within a hobby, LOL.

I bought the 183, 380 and 346. I'd say the 380 is one of my very favourite Pams in my collection. The 346 is very good .....sold the 183.

292 doesn't have this flaw :)
More accurate (it's the most accurate rep i've owned)

But the Radiomir 380 have a dial wrong if I remember good.
However it's a good rep. The 292 Pig Dial it's a very good watch if you like the ceramic case. Maybe I've wrong , but the 346 it's not one of the best Radiomir ? It's not automatic , so an historical Panny , and have a good clone movement. Golden hands it's so chic ! [emoji41]
But maybe this mate wanna buy a classic Radiomir.

How much for buy the gen Crown and Hands ?
And for the gen Dial ? More or less.

346 IS one of the best reps out there, but OP's question was about thin cased radiomir. I'm not sure of its dimensions, but for some reason I don't see it as thin as a 380.

Ah , Ok Kilo....I had misunderstood..... :)Of course , the 346 has a different case from the historic Radiomir.
Mate , remember when you can read my e-mail... :)
It 'very important to your judgment about the pics.

Thank you all!

The 388 and 346 are beautiful options, but I really want something a bit more dressier (and thus thinner).
The 292 doesn't cut it either, since the all-black ceramic look makes it immediately more sporty.

From the suggestions, I really liked the 210 which is a base model. I already have a 111 and 127, both with small seconds at 9 o'clock, so it would be a good change.
Unfortunately the 210 is not a super rep either.

Any opinion regarding the 210 vs. 380?

If I had to choose , I would purchase the 380.
Both have some little flaws , but the 380 in my opinion is the best.
They are not super rep , but always excellent Panerai.
The 210 has the same problem of 183. The sapphire case back....and the OP XI it's not the best...:unsure:
The 380 has a closed case back...so , no probs.

Bummer... after settling on the PAM210 (because of the cleaner base look), it seems that the watch is out of stock on my preferred TD. :(

Photo shoot of my 380 today. The flaws are very forgivable for me.
