Freshly built Tudor Ranger 90220 "Oyster" Shield dial Built with the newly released Tudor ranger dial offered from Raffles this year. Its the most accurate option available for this reference If you are in the market for a Ranger. this is the way to go. All those butchered franken watches on eBay have terrible dials and hands and are selling for $1100+ Specs: Raffles Case set with flat case back with Tudor shield engravings. Clarks T12 acrylic crystal Raffles Ranger Dial - aged lume Raffles Time Ranger hands - aged lume Raffles Tudor 19mm Bracelet with Shield clasp Eta 2824-2 clone movement with rotor removed - manual wind Aged lume on hands and dial with air brush paint to achieve perfect match. Removed acrylic crystal and gasket - modified bezel to accept T12 crystal attempted to clearance inside case back but due to dial shape I was unsuccessful so it ended up being manual wind "oyster" greased gaskets and watch should be water resistant ( washing hands, showering , swimming) Thanks for your interest. As always questions and comments welcome.
