I have a Rolex on jubilee with fluted bezel and have been wanting something different…I though the Omega Railmaster might scratch the itch so while out window shopping I dropped into a local jeweler, they had a railmaster in stock and got to try it on…it just didn’t do it for me…I noticed they carried Tutor as well and had a Ranger which immediately piqued my interest. I tried it on and instantly knew it was what I had been looking for…while I had no intention of buying a watch that day I couldn’t resist…its low key and flies under the radar yet high quality that will outlast me…it’s been over a month and my Rolex must be getting jealous as I have not worn it with the Ranger getting all the wrist time since…absolutely love it!

We had the same thought! I was initially considering the Railmaster too, but when I tried the Ranger at my local AD, I knew I had to purchase it. It really is a great watch, and I feel like it's going to be a highly sought-after Tudor in the future.

Mine arrives on Wednesday. Can’t wait!

Great choice! Enjoy!

But imagine how much better it would be in a 36mm case, applied indices, mercedes hands and a mecaquartz movement...

Interesting comments about the Railmaster. I too have looked at that as a direct competitor to the Ranger, they’re both simple time only, fully brushed, and a used Railmaster can be had for sub $3k, which makes it very compelling. Still, I dig the Ranger. Just wish they used ceramic lume numerals and plots like the Black Bay Pro.

I definitely agree with you about the Rangers numerals. My only real complaint about the watch. Both the Railmaster and Ranger are great watches but the Ranger just fit much better on my wrist and I like the styling just a bit more!

Did you use to have a Mustang channel? How was your experience with JomaShop? Thinking about an Omega Railmaster from them, also love the Ranger.

Yes I have a car channel called Aaron Robin Productions. Jomashop has been awesome. In the past 5 years I bought maybe 20 watches from them. I was between the Railmaster and the Ranger. Both great watches and Jomashop has great prices for both. I've never had any issues with Jomashop and customer service is good. Only thing is you won't get the Omega warranty you would get the Jomashop warranty. Other than that Jomashop is accredit and i would recommend them!

I think the Tudor Ranger is an OK watch, but it’s massively overpriced given its specs. I think anyone considering the Ranger, do yourself a favour and pick up a brand new Omega Railmaster for $3,000. A significantly & undeniably better watch for a little premium over the Ranger when found on offer.

I've owned both, and personally, I preferred the Ranger over the Railmaster. I sold the Railmaster less than a year after I received it. I think it's because I didn't like the bracelet and how it fit on my wrist. I'd like to see Omega produce thinner, smaller models with more tapered bracelets. Also, I wasn't a fan of the butterfly clasp. But of course, to each their own.

I also own a 2000s Railmaster, and it's one of my favorite watches I've ever owned. With the current Railmaster being discontinued, I hope it returns to its roots, closer to the previous versions.

Absolutely disagree…Used to own the current Railmaster and it was sold relatively quickly…I don’t think I’ll ever sell my Ranger

Over priced ... Apple watch is better...

I wear both. I wear my Apple Watch Ultra when I work out and I wear my mechanical watches the rest of the day. Two completely different things. Apple Watch is a computer on your wrist that decreases in value instantly. My mechanical watches are a luxury items that usually maintain or gainvalue Over time.
