Still thinking of picking up a Sprite
My AD who I have bought a handful of watches from has one sitting in the store but will not sell it me. Telling me they can’t sell it as Rolex requires them to keep a certain amount on display. I know of course if I bought some of their jewelry and lesser desired watches to go with it the circumstances would change — but oh well.
So on to other trusted sellers.
Thoughts on this model from aficionados and owners? Crown placement not an issue, just overall looks of the watch. Anyone own and let go of it from some reason — or like it so much that they wouldn’t ever part with it? I have been comparing it to the Hulk (yes looking for something green particularly) but just worried too much green and a bit too much shine in some lighting. Others feel this way as well?
Thanks in advance!

Never have and never will play the Rolex AD games
Especially the fact that you’ve given him business before (bought an handful of watches already) and he still will not sell it to you is a perfect example of a customer to business transaction that turns me off completely.
I have only tried it on but I liked it much more than I thought from the pictures.
Zsolt is an happy owner so hopefully he will chime in with proper observations. Will the dealer not even commit to sell it to you once they get more stock? As I understand it, most Rolex dealers get a monthly allocation of stock so I would have thought th...
For years they have been telling my eventually 😩
Even bought a Cartier saying it will speed up the process, which I did — still nothing
Thank you Jon for the recommendation;)
Yes, I do own the lefty, bought it from my AD and I don’t play any type of games whatsoever… Now to the watch! I wasn’t sold on it initially, I thought its a bit “to green”, that’s why I sold my Hulk and replaced it with the Starbucks, but after wearing i...
And get this…
They just opened up a new Rolex boutique, but the new people say spend history doesn’t matter even though owned by the same group. Told me impossible to get any stainless sports model as first watch at the store. But they will let me know when they get on...
Is it fair to assume you don’t have a BLRO or BLNR?
This lefty version offers a nice color combo, and I feel is great on both oyster or jubilee. AD games aside, if you already have one of the other GMTs, then I don’t see this will offer anything more. It hasn’t for me, with the exception of the unique left...
I do not
The Sprite will replace my James Cameron, which now feels a little heavy/bulky my for me
Then you will enjoy the wearability of the VTNR.
Of the 4 GMT colorways, I like the VTNR most, followed by BLRO because of history, then BLNR. As long as you like the left hand design, then that’s the way to go. Good luck with your choice!
Thanks, yes it’s the color combo I think is best
BLRO is nice, but really like the green and black. For some reason not a fan of the blue and black
Wow!!!
Many congrats!! 👏👏👏 I like it much more than the Hulk. Enjoy it to the max! Thomas
