Has anyone found a strap like the gen fabric one yet? Went to order the gen from a local AD but they insisted Tudor requires serial numbers be supplied when ordering straps now... So canned that idea.

I managed to get hold of one on a M2M trade here. The camp pattern is woven so its totally unique. Super soft as well mcuh nicer than normal natos which are stiff.

Yeah annoying thing with Tudor is they won't sell straps etc without a serial number which is a pita. Still looking to get a gen NATO for my black bay.

Correct. It arrived yesterday. Amazing watch!

nice bro!! this has been growing more and more on me..

Yeah, I didn't have a whole lot of love for it when I first saw the pics either but it's an absolute gem. The build quality is top notch too and so close to gen it's ridiculous! Definitely super rep status in my book.

Yeah, I've got a deployment buckle from my Black Bay which I ordered on bracelet + extra leather. Apparently the leather bund strap is not that great though - really shitty quality so if I were you I'd order on bracelet, then get your td to source a deployment to ship with the watch. And then, get a bund strap hand made.

Yeah I never wanted the rep leather, just the buckle for a custom leather strap of course :)
I never thought of using the black bay clasp, I guess they're the same so that's a good thing!

The deployant on the bund strap is not by V6F and quailty is rather poor, the shape of the crown is all wrong.
Also the deployant on the ranger is all brushed, while the black bay has polished parts.

Interesting!
I wonder if the polished clasp would look "off" for the ranger. A brushed clasp would do the trick though...

Very good points! Didn't know about the brushed deployment, but it makes complete sense.

And, Anyone can compare gen with rep(V6F-V2)?
I know that this rep is really really close to gen.
but no review(gen with rep comparison) on internet.
Black bay and Pelagos, like these other model have their own 1:1 gen with rep comparisons.
If anyone have the gen and rep too, please compare and post it. plz:smile::smile::smile:

I just love the Ranger Heritage. Does anyone else get the feeling that the D in TUDOR does not line up on the dial? It's a strange feeling, i get the same when i look at gen pictures.
