I saw this pic in a Dutch watchforum:

I have likewise always thought Ranger hour hands looked a bit too, um, ‘johnson’- like. While Mrs. Kitty and I were downtown today, we walked into the local TB just to check the new Ranger out. They had it on the fancy ‘don’t call it Nato’ strap. Both of us tried it on!

Surprisingly, I actually found the negative dial space appealing. That said, I do agree with the Victorinox comparison. It’s nice and all but for a new Tudor I prefer the GMTs. For now, I’m off to find a 1970’s Oyster Prince....

I saw and tried one on yesterday.. I agree it largely misses the mark. 39mm does it no favours. Also the 316 stainless looks quite dull and cheap. Seen next to his modern cousin.

I can read my 34mm Ranger just fine and I am 46. I have a 36mm explorer as well and I can also read that. I have owned sinn (656 on bracelet) in the past which are fine, but bead blast is a horrible finish on a watch. They look terrible when scratched up and then you need to polish and re bead blast to make them look OK. Brushed and polished looks way better when used as a tool watch should IMO.
