Playing around tonight. I know it's a dive strap, but what do you guys think of a brown Isofrane on the Ranger?

I think it looks pretty good. The Ranger is depth rated to 150m and that dial would be very visible underwater, too.

That's kinda what I was thinking. If used as an impromptu "diver", it's much more legible than even my sub. I want to put leather on it, but my watches get wet a lot. So I thought about the brown of this strap to be like the dark leather I wanted to put on it, but safe for wet use. |

I'm surprised this club is so small. I just got my Ranger four days ago and I haven't taken it off since.

I wear mine every day to work. It's a great watch.
I am really struggling to find another watch for the money to add to my small collection at the moment that's close. |

Have you looked at the Tudor Aeronaut? It was discontinued in 2011 but you can still find new ones. Several dial designs, and a great GMT function. My Ranger has been doing split shifts with my THC for the last few months.

How does the Ranger wear on steel?
I've only tried mine on Leather or a Nato. Thinking about adding a Black Bay to the little collection. Not sure whether to pull the trigger though as I could do with paying bills. Boring... |

Ranger wears well on its steel bracelet, but I usually keep mine on leather. Will be going back to steel as the weather heats up, though.

I really like it. Very different and a true GMT. I've made some enquiries and I'll post some info if I pull the trigger. |

Nice
tell your wife. Welcome to the club. Interesting to see a lady with a watch of this size, when so many men complain that anything over 40mm is too big. |

I would join if I could, Adam. Going to Vegas tomorrow & I'm definitely going to check a Ranger out at the Wynn Boutique... see if they have the North Flag too.
I want a Ranger sooo bad! |

Hey Matt,
When we went to the AD I put several watches in front of her. I thought she would have picked the Explorer I but she went with the Ranger. |
