I couldn’t make it to the AD before they closed today so gonna try it on tomorrow. I’m sold on some pics and don’t like it on others it’s one to see in person.
I will get the BBPro instead if it doesn’t work for me once I try it on.

Congrat's on the Ranger, and you don't waste any time with strap changes do you?

Ranger bracelet on BB58

BB58 on that looks good to me. Don't think I'd go brush the case sides. And F the naysayers, Ranger looks good too.
Thanks. I was thinking fully brushed bracelet needed brushed case, but noticed my 14060 has fully brushed bracelet and polished sides of watch case.

My AD texted me she has one on bracelet for me. I didn't ask for one, she just assumed I'd want it. Probably go see it tomorrow but i really can't buy it right now.

So I went to the AD who received two earlier this well and here are some more bad cell pics (sorry Image)
Image

6.8” wrist.
Image
Image

Cell phone pics in a jewelry store don’t do either one justice. Horrible pics 🫣


This gives a better size perspective then close up cell shots.
It definitely wears larger than 39mm might suggest to some. For those worried it may be small or borderline, it wears well. Larger than a BB58 or pro or one of the latest Raven diver

Exciting news Jeff, and seeing all of the different pictures is great because it
gives such a nice feel for how the watch actually is. :) ;) How all Tudor watches
actually are honestly. Which seems like straightforward no holds barred fantastic !
Seriously, Tudor is one of those brands that truly can do no wrong imho. ..Perhaps
the only thing Tudor did wrong was to stop making the Ranger in the first place. :grin:

No matter what, we are fortunate to be able to see this one again, or especially
to have one. :salute:

Can't thank you enough for the report sir !!!

It can be and I needed to try some straps, but I think mine will live on the bracelet. The fully brushed case + bracelet really gives it a tool vibe, and when combined with the printed dial, it’s the spirit of the original Explorer.

These 3/4 tilted daylight pictures make it look very nice. In the better ones, the dial looks legitimately vintage, IMO.

It’s very hard to capture this one in photos, but it’s great looking in person.

I agree. It’s really at home on the bracelet. The clasp is great too

Thanks Mike. I’m geeked.

Got a very solid deal on a very lightly used one.

This is a big f’ing deal for me.
