A red ranger never existed so that should tell you something. Take a pic of the marks between the lugs and we can tell you if it is a real case or not. That big rose Tudor is faked quite often too. Sometimes a real case is used but the dial and hands are fake.
Here is a pic comparing a real and fake case of a 34mm Tudor. The fake case is on the right. Notice the style, spacing and depth of the engraving. A lot of times the fake case won't have any bracelet rub marks between the lugs. There should be rub marks for an almost 60 year old watch case.

Almost authentic. The dials and hands on both look fake. Even if the case and movement are authentic they are only worth at most $300-400 as just heads.

Here is a pic of a fake big rose

From the poor photos I think they are not only NOT simply redialed to Red Tudors but all fake

In my opinion both reworked dials (at least)
The 7962 (Big Rose) should be marked T SWISS T (for tritium), and I think just shock resisting.

The "ranger" dial is all wrong, reworked and relumed
