The Rolex GMT-Master II 126720VTNR is the Sprite. It is the first left-handed GMT-Master Rolex has ever made. The crown and crown guards sit on the left side of the case instead of the right. The green and black ceramic bezel and the Jubilee bracelet are the standard GMT-Master combination. The green half covers the upper 12-hour segment. The black half covers the lower. VSF Watch got the left-handed case, the bezel, and the movement right.

The left-handed case. The crown and crown guards are on the left. The date cyclops sits at 9 o'clock instead of 3. Everything is mirrored from the standard GMT-Master layout. Rolex made the Sprite for left-handed wearers but it works on the right wrist too. The crown on the left side means it does not dig into the back of your hand when you bend your wrist. The case finishing is the standard mix of brushed lugs and polished bevels. The lugs are the current-generation slimmer profile. No fat lugs. At 12.1mm thick the case wears close to gen.
The bezel. Green on the upper half, black on the lower half. The color transition is clean. No raised seam. The bezel numerals are platinum PVD-filled. The gear teeth are machined to the correct depth. Bidirectional rotation with smooth, precise clicks.
The movement. Dandong 3285 automatic GMT. Independent jumping local hour hand. The GMT hand tracks a second time zone. The local hour jumps in one-hour clicks without stopping the running seconds. The date is driven through the hour hand and sits at 9 o'clock instead of 3. The movement has a 72-hour power reserve. Winding is smooth and the date change is clean.
The crystal. Sapphire with AR coating. The cyclops at 9 has the correct magnification.
The bracelet. Jubilee with polished center links and brushed outer links. The five-piece link construction flexes more than the Oyster. The clasp has the Easylink extension. The polished center links pick up surface marks with daily wear, standard for the Jubilee.
