the Rolex GMT Master II(?) VTNR...... with a left side screw.....

I find it a joke that they have increased the price for this specific watch only for being left sided.....

Now all the Grey dealers craze will kick off with "It's the first GMT with a left sided screw by Rolex" ....

The colour combo is excellent and I love it.

But I wear my watches on my left hand !!!
I completely dislike �� the date and crown on the left ….
Hopefully we will get next year a regular one with the same colour combo

Left hand set up looks wrong to me - bezel I do like.

I guess left handers just got a big win this year

I wish they made it also in the traditional right hand side crown too

When I look at the watch I keep thinking to myself "its upside down"

J said the same thing Steve.

It’s not like Rolex to make such a strange move.

I’m sure there will be a limited edition right hand drive model soon.

For a few more $$’s.

Could be a market for this but certainly not my cup of tea.

Hmmmm, my dad is a lefty and he's never owned a Rolex. Last year my parents handed me their matching 1971 Omega Dynamics. The universe is telling me something. Yeah, it's time dad gets a GMT from his son.

Lol something looked 'off' and now I understand why...
Is this the first time Rolex placed the crown on the LHS?

No idea. I wear my watches on both wrist (I swap when I play guitar), never felt any need for a mirror image watch, ever.

I like the bezel colors enough, but LHD on a GMT seems odd to me. I love it on my Pelagos and get a kick out of winding it upside down from time to time, but I am frequently jumping my local hour the minute I land with my GMT, which I just wouldn't enjoy doing with a LHD.

Not like I could get one regardless though..

It’s awful. I hope some of the lefties get excited about it, but it’s a very strange move.

I don’t like it, personally, but I’m also not left handed so I don’t have a use for it. But also I don’t understand why people are that surprised or say Rolex is doomed. Honestly they are damn smart. They released just enough to appease a few people (lefties get a GMT option), while still maintaining absolutely ALL of the hype for the popular models they already have in their catalogue. Want a steel Pepsi or Batman? You still do. Want a Sub? You still do. Want a steel Daytona? You still do.

I don’t like it much, aesthetically, but damn it Rolex is smart.

Can't unsee that cyclops. No me gusta.
Also, probably my least favorite GMT bezel color combo.

That totally came out of left field, litteraly...

Bezel looks better than I had anticipated, actually. A left handed watch is a no go for me, though.

The date window on the left, that's kind of wild, wow!

I hope this doesn't start a trend of Rolex offering left handed watches.

Personally don’t like the look of the new green and black bezel. And then having the crown on the left side definitely throws me off :/
