Do we have enough owners to get this going yet? It's been almost a year since the release, and I know a few folks have bought one. Let's hear your thoughts and see your photos. Here's a few to get the ball rolling

Old Expat Beast · 10 February 2015, 11:04 PM

Ok, might have jumped the gun on this one

cop414 · 10 February 2015, 11:22 PM

I wish I could join Adam, good Gawd that looks great, like it just came out of a 40 year old time capsule. An Explorer I is on my list next but that Ranger is right up there!

It's less than half the price of an Explorer, Tim. Think about it

I'm in love with this watch. Simple perfection.

ralpie · 11 February 2015, 01:53 PM

Great shots guys- love that watch.

RMC12 · 11 February 2015, 07:45 PM

Great Pictures!! Give me a week or two and I will on board. I am just waiting for the chance to get into town and pick one up. I was going to get a Black Bay Burgundy next but another thread swayed me more towards the Ranger.

I will be getting it on the bracelet too and then probably ordering another strap from Gunny Straps to cover all bases. I can't wait.

AndersB · 11 February 2015, 09:03 PM

The watch looks fantastic. I really, really like the non-WG markers.

Too big for my wrist though. 37mm or smaller and it would have been perfect I think, and I would almost certainly have bought one. Now, at 39mm (is it?), I'll have to pass. But big congrats to those of you who own it and find that it fits.

It's 41mm, but most of that is dial. There's a couple of links visible either side of the case on my 7.25inch wrist. Try one on if you get the chance.

Awwwww, man Adam, why do you gotta say things like that,,,, and to think that you didn't like this model when it first came out! I have to say that the Ranger is the most "under the radar" watch out there!

Haha...yeah I was really critical of it at first. I think it was the nostalgia appeal that got me started on liking it.

Great watch. I have had mine since November and am very pleased with it.

Mine will be shipping Monday. Bracelet model and I can tell you I'm very excited!

fender77 · 10 March 2015, 04:34 AM

Placed an order for the bund strap version a few days ago. Still waiting for it. A tad excited as I haven't held one. Just drooling over pics of it. Wonder how big it will wear on my 19cm wrist...

fania123 · 10 March 2015, 04:38 AM

Congrats! It was born to be on that Bund strap, IMHO. And with your size wrist it'll sit perfectly.

On the fence. I love the Explorer but it's too small for my liking and the minute hand irks me on the 39MM. I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on this yet. I WANT to like it more though.

fender77 · 10 March 2015, 04:55 AM

Thanks @fania123. I hope it will be 'it'. I used to have a Hamilton Khaki Officer Auto 44mm on bund. Slightly too big, too busy dial and small hands. Really think that the Heritage ranger will nail it.

Matt748 · 10 March 2015, 05:34 AM

Can i Join please Adam??
