Afraid the red ranger is one of the most altered dial out there, myself have never see any real proof that the red rangers ever existed But if I remember James Dowling in a article said he had only seen one model in his life .The only experience I have with the Tudor Ranger over many years is for every genuine one there are many many faked ones plain Ranger and red rangers.

After the experience I had with 2 of them, I would stay well clear of all of them, probably the most faked watch out there.
Shame because they are nice looking watches.

...hmmm...

...I cannot read French, but, the dial APPEARS to be refinished.

...most of these type dials are in fact REFINISHED and not original and usually DISCLOSED as such in the listings.

...hope this helps.

well for me, a few things don't match :

strange hands, these don't look like the original ranger
strange rotor, should'nt it have triangular shape, instead of a round one ?
the seller says the glass is new, but doesn't tell about a rolex glass
no box or paper
the watch has a generic strap,

this looks like a franken to me, the movement and the case may be from tudor, but that's it
