Before You Buy The New Tudor Ranger

I can't get past the 6 and 9 numerals. They looks cartoonish, like something a 5th grader would have drawn. The right hand arc on the 9 doesn't seem smooth, it seems lumpy somehow. It just looks crude. Plus I would have liked the bezel to be polished, like the Explorer. Maybe I just want the Explorer.

Many have complained about the simplicity of the word Ranger and greenish lume. Many may not realized that the original vintage Ranger uses only “Ranger” and also uses greenish lume. This watch is a reflection of the original vintage Ranger just like the BB58 and BB54 uses the DNA of Tudor Submariner 1958 and 1954.

Teddy, you are my first stop in my journey for watch buying. Thank you for all of your shared knowledge, advice and opinions regarding all things horology.

The San Martin ranger looks better..

Beautiful watch... Comparing this with the black bay pro GMT. The Ranger, when I tried it on, I found it to a perfect size on my wrist, easy to read with quick glances and the overall "package" felt more complete. The Pro felt more functional, where I can fully use it's design as opposed to the Rangers straight forward purpose. Any thoughts?

I own the 39 explorer still like this 😂

I personally wouldn't sell this watch as a "beginners" luxury watch. A "beginner" wants a deal of bling for their hard earned $3000. This is definitely not that! This is a specialist watch for those that want very comfortable wear, incredibly clear time, and a take every wear ability without being scared of theft or the odd scratch. The chamfering on the side and bubble sapphire lend a jewellery feel that's surprising. A top travellers watch, very well balanced, accurate movement, very comfortable, thin, small lug to lug and one that just gets worn an awful lot against the heavier, blingier and much more expensive pieces in my collection.

I get it, field, simple, legible, functional, heritage dial...but those adjectives don't necessarily mean ugly and boring just like this watch is. Would never buy it, if someone gives me this as a gift I would sell it right away. Personal subjective opinion. Have seen it in person and I sadly can't unsee it

If they made one with a blue dial I think I'd buy it a lot sooner than I plan lol

I own one and will never sell it. Robust, legible and classy

I just got mine and I love it😊

If it had raised indices instead of a printed dial painted on and if the Lume was white not yellow and it was in 36mm I'd be interested . This 39mm ranger is to big and cheap looking

Just bought one earlier today. Thanks for the review.

The Tudor Ranger is so pure and simple, some watches have to much text on the dial.

I just bought one last week. It was our families first time on a cruise and I was also celebrating my 10 year anniversary of starting my own business. I could not possibly be any happier. It’s my first Tudor. I own several Omegas, a couple of Oris watches, some Hamilton’s (new and vintage), I also have some micro brands I learned about from your videos Ocean Crawler, Traska and Vaer. I am super impressed and in Love with the Ranger.

love it got one

I liked the slimmer bezel on the older version. Nice watch still.

Tudor!!! Please make a 36mm ranger

I'm glad I've got the old heritage 41mm, that watch has got a LOT of character! Love the simplistic nature of this new one and would definitely buy it, but wouldn't upgrade to it.

36 mm and then we're talkin'

please try and pronounce tudor correctly .. its not hard its not too-door its chew-dor

I tried it on at my AD and took the plunge this evening. Thanks for the helpful review and great vid. I had been wanting a GMT and the current Tudor GMT and the BB Pro just didn’t lead to love on my 6.5” wrist but the Ranger did.

get the san martin version for $225 its flawless!!!!

One of the most considered reviews I've seen of this watch. I've got a heritage ranger and I can see pros and cons for both.still can't make my mind up.i still think both are a great alternative to a 1016 explorer if you want modern a modern alternative.

😍 love it 😍

Great review, Teddy! I just got my Ranger on-bracelet and couldn’t be happier with it.

Really looking forward to putting this thing through its paces

Debating between this and the Hamilton Murph 38

What a boring piece. So boring I almost want to neck myself just looking at it.

I shit you not Tudor and Mido as so freaking boring and plain!!!

Still just don’t like how yellow the dial numbers look.

I really like the Ranger 39mm and the old 36mm without the date or with the date, I really like the numeral layout and the sizing of the numbers and the 3 6 9 layout over the other field watch layouts. You always do a great program Teddy.

The build quality is probably amazing but the watch is underwhelming. Rather have a longines or hamilton.

I bought the watch because I like it and plan to wear it and not sell it.Explorer doesn’t Look like a explorer. Too shiny for the outdoors!

Is it likely a date version will follow, or would have been their way to release simultaneously, if it was to be?

I love it. But that price for that bland ass look? No thanks. Maybe a high quality replica lmao

The only Rolex I ever wanted was the Rolex Explorer. But this Tudor Ranger looks far closer to the era of Explorer that I like than the current offerings from Rolex. Cheaper too... bonus.

Bought it on the nylon, had a Forstner Type O to put it on. I really like this watch as an everyday wearer that is a bit under the radar. The lume longevity could be better but the vanilla color doesn’t have a heavy fautina vibe which is a plus in my book. Drilled lugs would have been welcome. It will be a keeper for me

Is it the exact same 39mm case as the BB58 or different and a coincidence?

I love these type of understated high quality watches.

Raised markers give the watch a more fancy look. I‘m glad the dial is printed…

I hope there will be a date version of this watch.

this is a brilliant watch, you will see that it will have many requests. it will silence all the Tudor haters.🤐😅

Anyone else getting tired of faux patina?

Will this bracelet or my bracelet off my bb Pro fit my bb gmt

Didn’t check below to see if someone asked , but wondering which watch Teddy was wearing in this video ?

Looked slender and seemed to have a great profile .

My guess would be from within the microbrands , a Halios divers from Vancouver , if I am not mistaken , or from a traditional one : a Longines divers of some sort ?

No it doesn’t need applied markers let’s just let one watch stay vintage and not have to “modernize”

The only thing I’d change is put a rose on the dial

Does it have a soul?

Looks like a winner.

The slightly greenish numbers remind me of early Porsche 911 dash dials, and for that I like it!

Almost great. The dial markings are all painted on and all the same color. If they would’ve applied the four numerals to given it some dimension. And put some red on it to match the seconds hand (maybe the shield or the word Ranger), this thing would really be poppin.
