Why lack of choices for a rep Radiomir 45mm?

Has been a fan of Radiomir since acquiring my gen PAM 190 more than 10 years ago. The 45mm size with a wire lug fits my small wrist well.

The first thing I did after discovering RWI was to search for a 45mm Radiomir and was dismayed that there were not many choices.

Many wonderful 45mm Radiomir were released in the recent years such as :
- PAM 1334 and PAM 1335 Origine
- PAM 1245 Eilean
- PAM 1349 Deep Green

None of these are currently offered by the factories. Is that because of low demand ?

Also we have many technically proficient experts in this forum who can custom build Radiomir. Wonder what would motivate them to build such for selected customers ?

Subs and base model Betti case Pams are most likely the biggest sellers so the factories focus on that.. I'm hoping with Panerai declaring 2023 the year of the Rad that some factories, SBF hopefully, release some of the older and newer models..
All of the above you've mentioned along with the 992 and this years 1347 to 1350 references are ones I'd like to see rep'd.

Check out the new PAM1350 unveiled at W&W23 today.

It all boils down to the movement. SBF only does P.9000/P.9010 (the ones with date) models, hwf only does 6497s. I don’t mind if hwf decided to do the 1350 using a 6497 but they have other issues they need to address first.

Wish they’d rep the Eilean … Panerai just released a bunch of radiomirs .. hopefully the factories catch on.

It's a build from another forum, 45mm, with a fantastic @Belkin12 yellow/cream dial. It came with blue hands, which I changed to gold at Belkin12's suggestion - this will be the first time he's seen it, although it's not a good picture, I'm afraid!

Worth all the time needed. The Belkin Radiomir builds are all excellent. The problem is which one to choose.
