Tudor Ranger thoughts

[Chef_hacker]

I did actually have one before but sold it and instantly regretted it(sure most have been in the same situation). I have bought another but have some concerns regarding the dial. Is it genuine? I've attached some macro shots of the text.

It is absolutely the most faked Tudor of all time IMO, the word Ranger on the dial concerns me. Ive never seen those little dots before at the bottom of each letter. I am also concerned by how rough and flat the shield and other printing are. Also, im pretty sure the dial should be T SWISS T too since there is lume and post 1968 when the shield was introduced.
A real ranger these days will usually set you back around $3500-5000US. I have attached a pic from linesiders for comparison.

Thanks for the reply. I am well aware of the amount of fakes around. Here is a shot of the dial as a whole.

IMHO yours has too many inconsistencies in the dial, especially the lack of T SWISS T on a shield dial

That thread gives no definitive facts. If you can return it I would and find one with a better pedigree.
