My first preference would be for Tudor to make a Ranger closer in size and form to the original, rather than expend their energies on the next Pantone shade for the 58. If Timefactors were to produce a homage I'd prefer it to be partially inspired by Ranger II to avoid being too similar to the Everest.
I'd like the Smiths Strider to be 36mm, handset and dial as the Ranger with a date at 3 like the Ranger II, tapered oyster bracelet (not integrated), maybe a fluted bezel.
