Rolex GMT Master II Sprite 126720VTNR: A Closer Look

The Rolex GMT Master II reference 126720VTNR is widely nicknamed the Sprite. Its black and green bezel is immediately noticeable, but the left side crown and date display are equally important to its distinctive layout.

What identifies this reference

Rolex lists the 126720VTNR with a 40 mm Oystersteel case and calibre 3285. The crown sits on the left of the case, and the date window with its magnifying lens is at nine o’clock. The example pictured here has a Jubilee bracelet.

Those are reference details, not a statement about the condition or service history of any individual watch offered for resale.

How the GMT display helps

The conventional hour hand and the additional 24 hour hand allow two time zones to be read together. The rotating 24 hour bezel can support reading an alternative zone. The watch does not display four independent time zones at once.

Before adjusting it, consult the instructions for the reference. Try it on to see whether the crown position and bracelet fit suit you; the design is not restricted to one type of wearer.

Questions for a preowned purchase

Ask for the exact configuration, case and bracelet condition, available service records and included accessories. Confirm any replaced parts or modifications. Request details of the seller’s inspection and warranty rather than relying on the model’s popularity.

Future resale performance is uncertain, and popularity does not guarantee appreciation. The retained photographs are archived examples. Contact Diamonds by Raymond Lee in Boca Raton to check current Sprite availability and review the actual watch before purchasing.
