This watch is beautiful on a jubilee bracelet the Rolex green just pops beautifully and with it being so rare and unique you will not see no one wearing it. You have to see this watch in person to really appreciate it and wearing it on the left wrist makes it even more comfortable. Majority of the hate that comes with this watch is from guys who either never seen one in person or just can’t clearly afford it.
@@americantarmacker514 thanks for asking! Unfortunately, I didn't get the sprite, but I got a great consolation. Late last year, my AD, probably feeling sorry that he hadn't been able to get a sprite for me, offered me a green sub instead. I was conflicted at first because I had wanted the sprite for a long time, but the sub looks so nice with a green bezel, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy it! I have never regretted buying it (and am wearing it right now) but the journey for a GMT continues...
Wow where did you get the Rolex travel case? My local AD has never given me any Rolex swag, they seem to never have any when I’ve made my Rolex purchases.
This gets discontinued, and the value will go through the roof. It will be rare, difficult to source, highly collectible and highly sought after. Values could go over $70,000 USD in a short period, in my opinion.
They usually discontinue watches at the Watches and Wonders event in May/April. If it’s not on display then, then it’s discontinued. This year the event will take place April 13th.
@@WatchSociety If it was a success I believe it would stay in the catalog but if it is discontinued like most Rolexes....it will of course appreciate further, probably 🚀 to the 🌙
I've been thinking the exact same thing, and am hoping they discontinue it this year, I got lucky enough to get one at retail, I am left handed (but still wear the watch on my left hand instead of right) which is cool and black and green happen to the same as our company colors, so it was a really cool piece to get. I did think it looked weird in pics, but once I got it and started to wear it you get used to the crown being on the left really quick. If discontinued I'd be curious to see where prices go, I'd bet in 30-40 years they be insane.
Great video and thoughts. I can imagine that Rolex don't call it out and bring the VTRN like all other GMTs on the default right hand 😂🎉 I mean, hope so cause I love the Sprite colors ❤
If they discontinue the LHD then only the people who got the watch would benefit and the rest of us will need to buy gray which will only push up the hype and price... Not happy about that!
I think this will be like the Oysterflex, came out first on the Rose YM, and then branched to Daytona, SkyD, other YM variants…there will be other “lefty” models, rather than one-&-done…same w Titanium, it’ll branch out
What do you mean "harder" to get this watch from an AD? ANY Rolex cannot be attained as far as I am concerned. I've been waiting years for even an Explorer I.... You might as well say ALL Rolex will be discontinued because you can't buy any of them.
@@WatchSociety Thank you for your response. I’ve been given a brown one but would love a black one. I’ll speak to my AD and see what they say. Love your content
Great video . Imho if I remove the money / investment potential from this piece. It’s stops singing to me Pepsi and root beer are still my fav in all gmt. Then again it’s just my opinion . Cheers
I find the hate for this watch hilarious. I'm a right-wrist wearer and got lucky with the AD to grab one, and I absolutely love it. I for one hope they discontinue it this year and it goes down as a legend!
I think the watch is goofy and unnecessary, but would definitely buy one, at retail, if given the opportunity, just cause it’ll probably go up in value. Would I wear it…NO, which is what most buyers who has one have been doing with the Lefty GMT. They’re just sitting on it, to make a bit of profit.
I dislike that watch. However, it makes sense for someone who wears a watch on their right wrist. The date placement makes me think Rolex took the lazy way out to create it. Of course, if Rolex discontinues it, the value will increase.

Man, I really hope they don’t discontinue it. I’m left handed and have been trying to get this from my AD for a while now….
Did you ever get your sprite ??

Did you get it yet? I’m on the list for mine. So far have been waiting for 2 weeks
😅😅😅
Epic watch. I am a rightie and an owner of the VTNR and love it!
I agree 100% with this thesis. We shall see.
As a sprite jubilee owner id love to see that one discontinued😁
I just got mine a week ago! I absolutely love this GMT II Sprite

Is there a specific time of year when Rolex decides to discontinue a model? Does it depend on when the catalog comes out, or just random?

I don't think calling this early would make it a success.
how come?

Congrats on the new pickup my friend 🔥🔥😎😎
How do you know its a pick up bro 😂
@Watch Society cause its in your hands in your house 🤣🤣 also u posted a story in your birthday with a rolex bag...😎

Well said!
I’m an owner of the VTNR on a jubilee. Like me, you must be relieved this right hand crown cr@p is over😎

Tue, in the steel sport category, this is harder to get than a steel daytona. Your profile with the AD counts too
How do you get a black Rolex case?
Ah man i am not even sure, they gave it to me
@@WatchSociety Thank you for your response. I’ve been given a brown one but would love a black one. I’ll speak to my AD and see what they say. Love your content
Just got the call. So lucky. When I am gone, this watch will be valuable.
I have both the sprite and the pepsi from my ad in the last yr and in my case the Daytona is still way harder to get than these
Great video . Imho if I remove the money / investment potential from this piece. It’s stops singing to me
Pepsi and root beer are still my fav in all gmt. Then again it’s just my opinion .
Cheers

Yes, exactly!
it's actually not going. they are adding a normal version.
Thats another way to look at it, they would kill it if they do that

It really is, i wear it 😂
Check out the Rolex King Midas - LeftSide/HandCrown...
....for sure I am at the age to remember this one 😉
And a watch with James Bond Movie appearance
And take a guess who designed the King Midas.... GG

I hope they discontinue it 👏
I hope so too, it’s growing on me to be honest and recently more so on jubilee!
I thinks it’s a lovely watch to be honest
Tudor was first
NOOOOOOOO!!!!! This is too amazing of a piece
Yet more Rolex Click Bait. Total crap!!
Not sure what how you define Click bait. Please skip next time you see Rolex on the title!
Yes that watch came in from left field, maybe it will be left behind soon, I hope so 😋
Possibly Lars

I guess it was all fake.
Lol.
