Ranger is much better in person

This is watch that works very very well if you have some decent attire on. The in-person sheen is also something that pictures don’t capture. For me, it’s a home run

I went to see one yesterday. I was quite taken by it but I have so many watches on my radar right now I don’t know when or if I will get one. The proportions look very good to me and I like the clear and very legible dial layout. The bracelet is very nice and it is good to have an effective micro adjustment in the clasp.

I've had mine for a week now and I just keep liking it more the more I wear it. It's so easy to wear, always feels right, and I love the simple and easily adjustable bracelet. I liked it in picture, I really liked it in store, but it was only after wearing it for a while that I really started to love it!

It’s like a symbiot. Keeps growing on you…
I don’t mean this in a mean way but if you wear crocs and Bermudas, it may not work. This may be a « tool watch » but who are we kidding it’s a dress watch

When I picked up mine last week, I was wearing a suit, as I typically do. And to be honest, I did not care for the Ranger with the suit. It just didn’t feel right. I think it’ll be a casual/weekend piece for me.

Man, idk, haha. I thought it looked pretty good going for a run. I was picturing myself hiking up a mountain as well. I want to get some whiskey dents on it to see how it looks.

I can’t tell. Need to see one. The 12 looks obnoxious. Pushes text down. Not sure what it is I don’t like. Specs seem perfect. Will check it out one of these days.

Nice! I like it. And it looks to me like it would work fine with a suit and tie or a bathing suit.

Currently enjoying BB58 blue. Really love what Tudor is doing.
Need to try one of these on now.
