Jayums 2 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) hi all, Giving this Tudor rep serious consideration... Does anyone out there have one? Is the rep a good 'un? http://www.pure-time.com/product/heritage-ranger-ss-black-dial-on-brown-leather-strap-a2824/ Have only been able to compare photos and it looks good to me, but expert opinions are welcome! Apologies if there is a review already as can't seem to find it... Thanks in advance, J Edited February 17, 2015 by Jayums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Transylvanier 0 Posted March 26, 2016 Searching the best possible Ranger. Found this on Kuvarsit. Does it worth the more money. http://www.kuvarsitwatch.co/tudor/best-edition-tudor-heritage-ranger-ss-ss-.a2824.-from-kw/ Gesendet von meinem JY-S3 mit Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted March 26, 2016 There is only one version around and it is very good. Mine came with bracelet from InTime.co (td over rwi forum) where it is on special price (http://www.intime.co/tudor/2059-heritage-ranger-v6f-1-1-best-edition-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2824-v2.html) Note that KW and V6 factory is the same thing. Then I got a deployant from Lina (ebay) and a custom made bund strap from Martu leather down in South America Great piece! My watchmaker got it was a rep only because I was the owner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markrfc 3 Posted March 26, 2016 Pics ??? Need to see that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted March 26, 2016 I believe the first Version (the one that came with the bund strap) was another maker (called "a young new maker" by Angus when this was being developed) and then the V6/KW version (supplied with bracelet) came a fair bit later. The V6/KW version can be found at quite a few of the TD's at the moment for just over $250 which is a bargain considering they were originaly around $400 when released and that is a V2 version with "puffier" numeral and indice lume which is closer to Gen. Mine is the V6/KW version and I love it, currently wearing a Brady strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted March 26, 2016 Pics ??? Need to see that. I am 1000km from home now But it is exactly like the one on intime site, just with a leather strap. Oh I found a pic of mine at Martu site (but it was a quick pic not intended for Martu's display) This was the inspiration but mine is on brushed deployant: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,501 Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks, it is a very nice vintage style one. And the V6/Kw is practically a super rep. Even the movement (despite the closed case back) is gen like (2824 like the gen and also engraved like the gen). On intime site the movement looks sterile but on mine it isn't Like this: Lol... Did they sent me the gen they used for the replication modeling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did they sent me the gen they used for the replication modeling? Mate either you are screwing with our heads or you have got a Gen or both. That looks like Gen to me, the ETA stamping, the Incabloc, the movement decoration, even the movement ring is decorated. I just opened mine up and it looks nothing like your pic :( You pulling our legs or did I miss-read your post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted March 26, 2016 Ahh see what you have done, I have spent part of my Saturday night (here in Aus) chasing down Gen pics and I find your pic is of a Gen GRANTOUR ETA movement! Here was me feeling all ripped off because mine looks so crap compared with your pic. I feel better now although a little foolish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted March 26, 2016 No no mine is like your, not an elabore eta But engraved and not like the on at intime which is sterile That was a pic of the gen I caught on Google Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markrfc 3 Posted March 26, 2016 That pic is a gen movement from wus. Link http://forums.watchuseek.com/f505/another-tudor-ranger-original-fake-1963706.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted March 26, 2016 That Gen sure looks nice, nice screws instead of movement tabs and much cleaner and shinier, almost worth the extra couple of Grand, but then again, maybe not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only a watch geek of questionable sanity would even open it to look. Oh right, I forgot where I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
