Tudor invited me, among other collectors of vintage Tudor, for a special event, a get together, organized at the Tudor Manufacture on the 15th of April. I know some of the collectors personally, others I met for the first time, with great pleasure. The am
so I guess most of us already have a watch which fills this space. What I regret about these watches is their thickness: why 11 mm for a 36? It should be below 10 for me. And the GMT is 12.8 mm: way too thick, imo. Best, Emmanuel Black Bay Pro is even 14.
Just a simple photo review to compare the different models of the Tudor Ranger . First 36 mm, then 39 mm, then both side by side. Enjoy ! Best, Emmanuel A/ 36 mm DIAMETER BEIGE (“DUNE WHITE”) DIAL: Ref. M79930-0007 (bracelet) & M79930-0008 (fabric strap)
Great "GADA" watch with the usual impeccable Tudor quality. Tried both the 36 and 39 mm variants and ended up with the 39 mm model ; the 36 mm was just too small for me !! As such a great fit on my wrist and very comfortable due to the micro-adjust clasp.
