Looks like there's two different versions of the 1941 Ranger?

If you check out both of the ad's we now have from 1941 you'll see one that shows the "Ranger" which is long and gold.  I think this is the right version as it's the same Ranger from the 1940 ad we now have.

The other 1941 ad shows the Ranger as a total different watch.  I'm betting the second 1941 ad with just two watches... is a printers error?  Or maybe on the outside chance it's the "new" Ranger going into 1942 but that doesn't look like a Ranger type watch at all.... more "city folk" watch if you ask me!

What say you brothers?

Great find! Thanks, I will rename my 1941 Military Officer to Regulator. I like this kind of proof.

You are absolutly correct on the Ranger. New add shows completly different lug setup. Which one has the Toni?

You may be too young for the Toni thing, so disregard.

Good Hunting

Speaking of the 1941 Ranger.... I just posted one up in my watches!  Hah... found it on ebay for 15 bucks... the dial is in mint.... oh wait except for that huge rust stain from the hour hand that rusted... = (
