I made the apparent mistake of falling in love with the Ranger. I think that one is one of the coolest watches on the planet. Reminds you of an Explorer, but on closer inspection it's just a little different. I'd love to add one to my collection.

Problem is, the entire line seems so sketchy, I'm not sure where to find an original. I mean, look on eBay - most of the ones listed there have the red lettering, which raises an eyebrow. As much as I love the watch, I'm concerned that it will never really be a collectable because they are so often faked.

What are the thoughts here on the Ranger? Is it worth it to find an original, or is that one of the names that has been so poisoned by fakes that the have all lost value? Is an Explorer really the answer?
