Ranger project about done


Vibes

Recommended Posts

I have been working on this Ranger for quite some time and it is just about done. Such a simple watch can be such a pain in the culo!

Here is the reference

and here is mine. You would think that the minute hand would be easy, but it is not. It needs to be 11mm and have fat lume. The one I have on there is 12mm and the lume is a bit too fat. 

Ingredients:

Gen case (74XXX), crystal and bracelet (7835 with 361B endlinks)

Gen movement (tudor 2824) with date wheel from an older movement

Gen 6mm crown

Unlumed Raffles hour and second hand

Clark? minute hand

Yuki dial (date window is a bit wrong! and frustrating to get to work)

Thanks man! I love my 1016, but the ranger is so svelte, vintage looking, and incognito; which make it a joy to wear. 1655 homage with a vintage case set and tiger concept dial next!
