The negativity around this piece is something that has shown up the sheep mentality of YouTube watch reviewers en masse. Much as the watch has been called lazy I think the reviews have been lazy, it’s a perfectly well put together tool watch which is more Explorer than the modern Explorer - look at the respect something like the Sinn 556 gets and this piece batters that on every level but gets zero kudos. The bezel proportions and the exquisite matte finish is top draw, love the touch of red - the perfect tool watch.

When you unscrew it, it seems to pop into a position, and then when you rotate it forward, it pops out more. Mine does the same as in your video. Is that normal?

Im in love with that watch. I navigates under the radar; a very well done tool watch.

The BB58 Bronze had this T-fit clasp before any other Tudor model. Just an FYI.

What about that sbgn027?? Are you making a review soon?. I have my eyes on it but there is few information out there, hard to find where to try it on before here in California.

This is what the Explorer is supposed to be. A true knock around tool watch. The Explorer become so refined and expensive that it is now considered a dress watch by some.

Good review of the Ranger. I had wanted this watch for the last year until I finally acquired it this weekend. The larger dial tends to work better with my 63 year old eyes. A 40 mm Explorer would be in that same category. I’ve got several 36mm watches from the 70s and 80s, and I still wear them from time to time, but they are almost the size of ladies watches today.

Thanks for the best review of this watch I’ve seen yet. It is my favourite watch of all there pieces.

I’m not gonna lie… I do selfishly wish and had hoped (when I heard rumors of this new version) that Tudor had recreated the old “date” version, with magnifier, of this watch. Maybe add a blue/red “roulette” date wheel, just for a fun splash of color…take my $$. As always, thanks for another fantastic video!

As a 124270 Explorer owner, I disagree that it’s the watch you get when you “can’t get anything else”. I have a Sub and still prefer the Explorer most days as it’s more comfortable and discreet.

And what’s with the hate on with brands offering multiple sizes? I actually applaud this - more options for more people is a good thing. The answer to your question of “who’s asking for the 40mm Explorer?” is: a lot of people 🤣🤣

[Barweezy]

I’m clamoring for a 40m Explorer! I’m looking for something that I can wear every day that doesn’t scream Rolex in your face. I certainly thought about getting the Ranger because I do want a simple field watch, but it just looks unpolished in comparison.

[lachg]

Agreed. I haven’t been able to understand the logic behind the different Explorer case sizes which have been recently released. Should just stick with 36mm. It’s a classic.

[fishinbite]

Great video. Can I ask what is your wrist size? As the watch looks quite large for a 39

[samsdadsmustachewax]

I bought a 1926. What do you think of them?

[discountmorty]

There is a new Ranger colour like beige numerals and all hands including the needle is beige colour.

[euanmacdonald]

Good rant. Entertaining and I get what you’re saying - on the fence between an explorer and ranger but seems the Ranger has so many pro’s especially $$$ and less pretence!

[watchingandseeing]

You can get a preowned Tudor GMT on bracelet for 3200 usd.

How does the Tudor T-Fit bracelet comfort compare to your Grand Seiko? Because I would put the comfort of the GS oyster-style bracelet as good as Rolex' own. And because their 9F quartz watches comes in around the same price, it is remarkable how much luxury one gets for the price.

As for comparison to the Explorer, I think the Ranger looks better in many ways. Because despite its heritage, the Ranger has a universal and timeless look. Whereas the Explorer uses squashed arabic numerals for a squished dial look that looks like a particular time and place from the past... Like velvet Elvis portraits and dark smoky rooms. I don't mean to dismiss the Explorer outright, but when you put these two side-by-side, my eyes like the Ranger style more.

[onedirection]

Great watch. Honestly, on the wrist, it would easily be mistaken for an explorer across the room.
Have you reviewed the current Explorer II? Some rumors on YouTube saying it might be discontinued. Personally, I think it’s a great-looking watch.
The Ranger is definitely a consideration now ! I don’t think I would be considering a beater lol.
Just for kicks as far as the Explorer getting larger, I mean look at the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. At this point everything is getting bigger. 🤷‍♂️
