Tudor Ranger 90500, help needed regarding movement compatibility

[Darragh1]

I would recommend the rafflesdials dial and rafflestime hands. The sword hands (tapered minute hand) are not correct for a shield dial and the lume should end halfway down the hour hand.

See: https://rafflesdials.com/27mm-vinta...t-eta-2836-or-2824-or-dg-2813-or-miyota-8215/ and https://rafflestime.com/white-metallic-ranger-hands-explorer-sub-diver-style-watch-for-dg-2813/

Thanks for the insight!, Correct me if I’m wrong but I was under the impression that a dial from Yuki would be more accurate than a raffles dial?

The Raffles dial is actually more accurate for a earlier model. The Yuki dial is similar to a later dial. Also on the Yuki dial the outer edges of the minute markers are exposed when used in a gen case. The Raffles dial was also not available when I did my build with the rep case.

Cheers thanks for the response, do you know if I could use a cheap aliexpress movement? And where would you recommend getting the acrylic crystal? Thanks again.

I am not sure which movement you mean. I would use at minimum a ST2130, if you want to go better you can use a SW200.

Yes an Asian clone 2824 could be used, You can source the crystal on Ebay or Cousins, Ofrie , Clarks , etc
