GMT VTNR "SPRITE" who's gonna ask for it?

[Shadow Play]

I’m right handed, wear my watch on the left wrist but tried this on at my AD (no other GMT) available. I don’t particularly like green on watches either. Guess what? I absolutely loved it. Such a beautiful piece. Really enjoyed wearing it.

I’ve never had the opportunity to try on a GMT II before so it is probably just be the GMT II in general that I love.

My AD tells me they prioritize left-handed people but I'm sure there are plenty of right-handed priority clients looking for this watch anyways. I'm hoping all of you are so disgusted by this model that it becomes easier for me to get!

I asked for it within a week of it’s release. And yes, I’m right-handed.

Haven’t received the call yet but I also have about 5 other watches on my list with my AD. At the time, my AD said they had received “too many” requests for the piece. Not sure how to gauge that though.

I'm left-handed and asked for one the week they were announced. Still waiting...

Love the bezel colors but I would not want the lefty watch.

I'm not a lefty but my AD surprised me with one. It looks great (love the bezel and the green hand) and wear comfortably on the left hand.

I am left handed and have requested one.

It's a right handed world.

All of you right handers don't realize some of the difficulties we have....Ever try using scissors with your left hand? How about picking up a guitar or golf clubs.....99% of the time they will be geared towards a righty.

I will admit, I'm more in favor of "blue" so options other than the green/blk bezel would be a welcomed update.

Since the moment I slapped mine on my left wrist, it's been my daily! By force of habit, I did put it on backwards the very first time!

I hope they sell but a few, to keep mine a rarity and a very special piece in the collection!

Recently, I traveled to Croatia. I walked into the two Rolex AD's (in the entire country), showed them the watch. Both stores, I had the SA's gawking, stating they had never seen one in person!

Still love the colours; still think it's perfect for lefties; still think it looks great on the right wrist; still think it looks absolutely terrible on the left wrist. As a result, still would never buy one. JMO

At first I wasn't a fan. But lately I've come around to really liking it. My dad was a lefty, my son is a lefty and my favorite color is green. I'd like to add one at some point.

Ask for it! I was surprised to be offered one but after 2 weeks I really REALLY like mine.

I'm one of those weirdos where I'm left-handed, but have always worn my watch on my left wrist. Don't like it on my right wrist. I know...weird.

[Watchdoyouwant?]

I'm a lefty. I wear my watch on my right wrist. I was initially interested, but I really dislike the date at 9 vs 3. It looks wrong to me.

[JRell]

Like the colors, but I like the SubLV much more, plus I am not left handed, so I would pass.

[dvn]

I too left handed and love it. I have asked for one and been waiting since May.

Every time I look at this watch, it’s clearly upside down. Sad that so many are excusing Rolex’s laziness here when they made more effort even with their destro Tudor!

Back in 1959, Rolex put in marginally more work for a greatly superior result.

Ad surprised me with it, which caught me off guard as I am right handed but have grown to love the watch. But if a sucker for Rolex green.

I agree it's the 9 position of the date window of the VTNR that makes it pretty clear that it was specifically designed for lefties to be wearing on their right wrist.

Apparently at least one of the reasons for having the date nearer the hand when a watch is worn is to make it easier to read the date at a glance without having to push your jacket or shirt cuff up too far. Hence date at 3 for righties wearing the watch on their left hand, and date at 9 for lefties wearing the watch on their right hand.

Obviously each to their own though.
