Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed there are quite a few knowledgeable Ranchero enthusiasts here, so I would really appreciate your input.

I recently came across a white dial Ranchero, which is pretty much a grail piece for me. However, I am unsure about its authenticity particularly the hands and Dial which look like they might have been replaced.

Could you please share your thoughts on whether this piece looks original or if there are any red flags I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Time to Write my favorite sentence:

,, rancheros are a minefield,,

Dial is definetly not original. And the hands look way to new.

But i have to say i‘m not an expert.

I just Never experienced somebody posting a ranchero in the vintage thread that was original.

If a Ranchero is a grail for you put more time in this. This is a very poor redial

The font should be thin and crispy. Compare the lume area of the minute hand as well. The you can tell the one you posted is a very bad redial.
