The Rolex GMT-Master II 'Sprite' (ref. 126720VTNR) sparked immediate debate upon its release, primarily due to its left-hand crown configuration. Forum member oyster case shares his initial impressions and subsequent ownership experience, offering a valuable perspective on how this unique GMT-Master II variant integrates into a collection alongside its 'Batman' and 'Pepsi' counterparts. His insights provide a crucial understanding of the VTNR's distinct character and wearability for both new and seasoned collectors.

Looks like a new Rolex family member is coming and a left hander at that 🙂

Only been done once by Rolex about 70 years ago. Same gorgeous green as the LV sub with black is so easy on the eyes in person. Much different feel that BLNR and BLRO. The green 24hr hand is a
