Incoming: Rolex GMT Master II Sprite 126720VTNR
Here in Holland we have AD's which refuses you to even put you on a list not matter how much money you ever spent in their shop. So after a few months of terror, ignorance and rejection i had to go grey (again). And of course, it came straight from and AD to the grey

So yes, it costed me too much this time, but i really wanted this piece in my collection so here it is. The GMT Master II Sprite 126720VTNR in flesh and blood and finally on my wrist.

So enjoy like i do

Yes, the Sprite IS for the right hand. I am a lefty, so i wanted this watch badly. And yes, i need to update sig, but there is no room anymore for more lines.

With the Sprite sticker on the box, is this name now somehow endorsed by the sales channel?

How do you know it came straight from an AD to the grey?

Just because of the date on the card?

Do you know for certain someone didn't buy it from an AD and sell it on to a grey immediately?

It happens. I've seen it

Congratulations Alex, life’s too short, enjoy it

Out of curiosity, who put the Sprite label on the outer sleeves of the box?
