The one on the Bay is fake.

Ed - get this watch already ; ) .

Like I said a couple months ago - I got first dibs should you choose not to chase it ; )

I wish it had been sooner, but sometimes good things come to those who wait 😉

Hi guys,

I have come to learn from Internet browsing that the tudor ranger market is a battlefield, but have been asked about this example locally and was wondering what you thought in regards to authenticity and the potential value?


It appears to be a 7995 as per this article

https://www.tudorwatch.com/magazine/article/tudor-history-origins-1960-to-1969

And haven't been able to find out much else!

Thanks,
Ed
I have such limited knowledge about Tudors, but really like these vintage rangers. Why is obtaining one so fraught with risk? I had heard that this brand flew under the radar of the counterfeiters due to its lack of cachet; is that not true?

Actually this brand has been a favorit of counterfeiters as they are easily faked. A Rolex movement can cost 1-2k, a Tudor movement 50-200 bucks...

And their are NO RED RANGERS except these guys:

99% sure it is an authentic, very rare version of the already rare Ranger.

Any thoughts on the copper colour movement? I have only seen coloured Calibre 390 FEFs in subs.

Also would the appropriate bracelet be a 7835?
