Its a parts watch, thats what most of them are.
Try doing some google research and I recall finding an article by
a Rolex historian which said he had only seen one real one in his life.
I almost got taken on one but I explained to the seller how I was
more or less (legally) going to make his life living hell and he agreed
to give me a full refund all of the sudden.
I am no guru nor do I claim I know this to be a certain fact BUT
I am pretty sure I am right on here...
And yes, lots of people claim to have real red rangers when in reality they are all older
redials.
Oh yeah... The Rangers are manuals from what I recall as well from the era the supposed red ones are from.

...Rgr, once upon a time. Genuine 9050, Red letter. Wish I still had it, but someone convinced me to sell it to them several years ago.
