Dammit. Me too. Guess I’m back to pining for the one Rolex I want, which I likely can’t buy.Chocodove wrote:I was actually really excited about this watch until I saw that pic.JP Chestnut wrote:It doesn’t compare well against the Rolex IMO.

Re: New Ranger
I’ve seen a slightly used 36mm explorer for under MSRP plus tax. They aren’t flip fodder anymore and should be below msrp shortly NIB from the forum sellers.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 4:39 pmI bet Rolex prices will drop soon.

Re: New Ranger
Looks like the bezel is wider than it needs to be and throwing off proportions? But might be the angle, I’ve seen some really good looking pictures, too. Maybe wait to see more shots in different angles and different lighting.
That’s what I’m telling myself

User on WUS has reported: YES the bracelet does fit the BB58. He will be posting photos.

I don’t like the piss yellow lume.
Re: New Ranger
Like I said earlier it doesn’t look anywhere as good as the current ETA Ranger. Lugs are thicker bezel is wider, dial opening shrink. Not for me but some will cum gag on IG about it I’m sure

Re: New Ranger
The bracelet is the best thing about it. It’s actually not very nice looking. The wrist shot doesn’t look good at all.
Re: New Ranger
Keep in mind camera settings, lighting, and angle all play a part in how it looks in these shots.
I predict it looks much better in real life.

Re: New Ranger
I think I actually prefer the BB58 bracelet, but I need that new clasp for mine.

Re: New Ranger
I wonder if it fits on five digit Rolex bracelets? If so, that might be a cheap way to get glidelock functionality on older models.
In fact, this t-fit clasp seems superior to the fliplock on the new explorer 1.

Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais!
Re: New Ranger
I still like it and think it’ll be perfect on nato.
The bracelet will go on BB58.

It looks gigantic in all the wrist pictures.

Re: New Ranger
I’m almost positive the dial printing / lume is much lighter in person.
Here’s a post from WUS that confirms the Ranger bracelet is a perfect fit on BB58. It appears they used the same case, which is great.

Re: New Ranger
I hope they quietly update the BB58 to that bracelet. It’s better looking and more functional.
Re: New Ranger
Likely they will stand by the only rivets but I could see them update the clasp.JP Chestnut wrote:I hope they quietly update the BB58 to that bracelet. It’s better looking and more functional.
