jmb Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 A while back I sold my "Red" Ranger and was immediately struck with "seller's remorse" and vowed I would build up another one day. I don't often surf through the sales section but a few weeks ago I felt drawn to that subforum and was immediately rewarded! Datlore001 had listed a partially completed Range with a couple of "problems" and we worked a deal and it was on it's way to me! It turns out that the Yuki dial was a bit on the small side, diameter wise, and the feet didn't center it on the movement very well. I machined a very snug movement spacer, clipped the feet and glued the dial to the movement perfectly centered, and put things together. When I finished I dispensed with the black strap and added a 19mm Brushed Oyster and it was done! Thanks to Datlore for passing this on to me and hope y'all enjoy the pics of this "lowly" 34mm watch!
woof* Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Very nice J, I really like the patina of the dial. I never noticed the little "block" on the end of the seconds hand.. pretty cool! 1
jmb Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah, definitely a unique set of hands...
GBOGH Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Very unique, very nice, but a bit too small for my tastes.
redwatch Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Love it J! Well done. Love the explorer look of the dial but those hands are something else! Really unique!
turnipz Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 How about a wrist shot? I'm tempted to get it but will it fit my wrists or is it a smaller size?
jmb Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Posted July 28, 2012 This is a different watch that I let go a while back but it's size is identical...
chiman12 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Very nice J! I've always had a soft spot for the Ranger...and welcome home Ranger!
TeeJay Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Fantastic acquisition, and as mentioned already, that handset really is magic
justlounging Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Very nice J!! I am truly a fan! This might have to replace my 14270 in the watchbox jus simply cos of the unique hands..
