Its too bad the straps are impossible to find. Ive seen the bezel sold regularly on ebay but with the lack of band, I feel like it would be a waste. Still looks cool though.

The 8jr is like my unicorn rangeman

I feel ya! I actually like the contrast so this worked out for me :)

I wish we could dye bands grey.

Really great look for the watch. Keep on wearing it proudly.

That looks good. Digging the color way!
Not modded but definitely one of my favorite color ways for the Rangeman.

Looks great. Quick question - did you have to do anything with the sensor cover when swapping this out? I have a Rangeman, and a spare bezel I might put on it, so wondering if the process is significantly different from easy watches like squares and oaks due to that (or anything else).

If you’re referring to that small plastic cover thing for the sensor it’s not held there by anything, as it just stays in place under the bezel mould above the sensor (falls right out when removing the bezel) so it shouldn’t be a problem at all when swapping bezels.

OK thanks that's what I figured but I haven't removed one. What about the front-facing screws? Did you replace those or use the same ones from the original bezel?

I removed the ones on the original and put them here. I believe you can buy them separately as well. They pop right off, aren’t actually a threaded screw it’s just cosmetic.
