Sprite

Why it matters

Sprite is the Rolex GMT-Master II with a green and black bezel, reference 126720VTNR. It is also Rolex's first regular-production left-handed GMT, with the crown and date at 9 o'clock, which makes it a destro. The new colorway plus the flipped case made it one of the most talked-about releases of its year.

Because it is still relatively new and made in limited numbers, the Sprite trades above retail on the secondary market. Confirm the reference and check that the crown and date sit on the left side before you wire.
