In general I’m not a big fan of Tudor, but this one...I like!

Congratulations

I actually prefer the Ranger to the Explorer. More space between springbar and case, plus lug holes, makes it easier to change straps. It’s rated 50m deeper than the Explorer, a flat back makes it more comfortable, and the blacked-out rehaut makes it more stealthy, with 99% brushed steel.

I also like the bracelet with non-fitted end links, which is a nod to the 1950s Tudors and a nice change from the uniform fitted endlinks used across the Rolex and Tudor range right now.

Rolex registered the name Ranger in 1929, almost a quarter century before they registered the Explorer name, which is also kind of cool I guess

Very very cool. If it was 38-39mm it would be the perfect homage in a modern era

Congratulations it looks really good on your wrist I bought one a few months ago it's honestly one of my more accurate watches and I really like the Retro look. I did find a company that makes and links but I think I'm just going to leave it the way it is.

Cool! Have you seen any photos of the ranger with fitted end links?

Cool watch, looks rather toolish with those lugs, definitely something different to most other brands these days

You know how I feel about this watch haha. Great pickup man, and it suits you very well also. Definitely could see this one being a keeper.
