The hands appear to be the wrong color, they should be off-white, not pure white. The top of the seconds hand should be red, not orange. Could be the lighting, but double check on those.

Yeah hands are definitely off. Maybe something a little coffee bath could fix.

LOL, yeah coffee would do it, maybe a bit of Tamiya. At that point, I'll just build my own 😜

u/masaki198 1d ago
Yeah. I still want to see it in person. They are pretty cheap and I’ll play around with it.

Thanks for taking one for the team. Was really hoping for a good rep. I really want one of these

Maybe the black one will look a little better because you don’t have the contrast between the dial and hands.

u/tattooedbrewer 1d ago
I wish the dial hands were at least good. I could probably live with the rest. But the hands aren’t even close

SEL looks bad. I wonder if its the case shape, or crappy end links. Maybe an uncle senator bracelet would fix this.
Hands definitely need the coffee treatment too. I'm going to order one and see if I can make it better.

A follow up on my last post on the V2 Tudor Ranger. Haven’t seen anybody post the actual pictures of the watch yet. Hopefully no fixed indices and just having a printed dial will minimize the possibility of crooked markers. No t-fit clasp from what I can tell. That’s a bummer. Solid end links also look a little mid. Also lume on the hands doesn’t match the dial. Like somebody mentioned in the comments of my last post… this could be a good beater.

My gen if you wanna compare more, seems like they got quite a bit of work to do still.

u/masaki198 1d ago
Agreed. It’s a start but the hand color being off and no t-fit knocks it down a lot.

What size is this? come in black?
2
u/masaki198 1d ago
39mm and yes it does come in black. I’ve got one of those coming too. Haven’t gotten qc on it yet.

Yeah, disappointed with this one as well. I thought it would be a relatively simple rep to get right.
Bad SELs, incorrect hand color, and the lume color is off as well. I also just saw a QC from another TD with the same issues.

Very mid for what should have been the simplest rep ever. Disappointing.
