TUDOR RANGER
I recently got the Tudor Ranger, it had been a watch I had on my Radar since August of last year. Something about it captivated me, the similarities to the Rolex Explorer but still it’s own sweet and charming design. The shovel hour hand, red tip seconds hand, the faux lume, the tfit clasp. All those things make the Ranger it’s own entity and it’s own silly little tool watch. Now, the question at hand is, how often do tfit clasp owners use the on the fly adjustments. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s new to me and I’m fascinated by it, but I’ve been using it pretty frequently these past 2 days. So owners of on the fly adjustment clasps, how often do you use that feature?

I absolutely love my new BB54 with T-fit. It’s been a game changer in this hot and humid summer we’ve been getting. I probably use it once every couple days. But I’ve also found a really nice position that works well and I don’t think I’ll need to adjust unless it gets super hot and unbearable outside.
Same here with the BB54. Love the option of quickly being able to adjust it. It was a key reason I bought it instead of the 58. I’ve only had it a few weeks but have used it multiple times in this swamp we call Florida
I had the Tudor Ranger and no matter what I did I couldn’t get a good fit on the bracelet. I adjusted multiple times a day when I had it.
I'd have the Ranger over the BB every time. Very under the radar. And it wears perfectly.
My Ranger is my favorite in my collection. It somehow looks like a boring watch but manages to be just a little weird in a few ways, I particularly enjoy the weird looking 9 and 6 markers, that red tip on the second hand and that tiny ring of polish on the outer rim of the bezel.
As for that clasp, I like my bracelets just a tiny bit loose and I may have to make an adjustment during the day, or I may not. Since it's gotten summery (only just a tiny bit) here in the Bay Area I find myself opening it up a notch around midday and then usually closing it back up later.
I have mine on the bracelet 95% of the time but I looks great on a leather single pass, or nearly anything. There is just something perfect about that watch on that bracelet for me, and for the first month I had it I probably just played with the clasp a bit more than needed. It is pretty neat.
I love the Ranger and convinced it will always look good no matter where it goes or what it's paired with
I ordered the Ranger on bracelet but also bought an OEM fabric strap which I prefer also hoped my wife would wear it sometimes since she often takes off with my black ceramic Tudor on fabric, the Ranger would be even more versatile. She finally explained she appreciated the gesture but wore the ceramic because the black matched her outfits. Doesn’t matter since I like the Ranger enough for both of us.
Love this watch! Sometimes I wish I had gone for the ranger over my bb36 as it just feels more rugged and “toolish”. Enjoy! 😁
Killer watch. Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations on a beautiful watch! I don't know about t fit wear as I have yet to own a Tudor with t fit. If the Pelegos standard model had t fit Inwould buy one. If the 39mm Pelagos comes out in a Blue dial I'll buy it. The Ranger looks amazing in person! IMO I'd take a Ranger over an Explorer I in 40 m any day of the week.

I completely agree, I have a BB41 black dial and it’s great, I love it. But I always wanted the ranger more. Something about it is just so right.
At the beginning i wanted to have the ranger on the nato strap because i really liled the rugged look it has as a combo. But once i bought it second hand with the bracelet, i cant think of getting a nato strap for this watch. The tfit is such a nice thing to have. Currently as its pretty warm i wont get to use it much often, but come winter it will see some action. On this watch, stick with the bracelett and i probably get a nato strap for my tag, otherwise i have to many silver bracelets in my collection.
It came in today. 😍
