The previous Coke, Pepsi, and ”Rootbeer” versions not only showed the masterful technical skills of Rolex but also revealed a new level of the brand’s creativity. And here it is the new two-toned GMT-Master II combining black and green in the most spectacular way possible. The series comes with a couple of unprecedented features, catching the entire watch community’s attention on the new line. The cerachrom bezel insert comes with a vivid combination of colors never seen before in the Rolex portfolio. In addition, the brand surprises with a completely different crown position at 9 o’clock, instead of the traditional 3 o’clock.
This means nothing else than the new 126720VTNR model is the first left-handed timepiece with such an unconventional crown position. The fresh model is available on the market at about $60,000. But, don’t get disappointed by the big price so soon. Here we got some great imitations of the Sprite series. Take a closer look at all the replica specifications and see whether they comfort you with their technical and design profiles.
But…
Before I reveal all the specifications of the “Sprite” replica watches, I would like to let you know how “magnetic” this watch is among celebrities. Everyone knows that getting a genuine Rolex from an Authorized Dealer ain’t an easy task, even if you have the $60,000 available. But, not when you are a celebrity, especially a sports one. That’s right; the Sprite model has found itself impressively attractive for sports celebrities. To prove that, take a look at the following list to see who has already got himself the “Sprite” beauty.
One Rolex Sprite for Declan Rice, please!
With the recent World Cup Qatar 2022 madness, I couldn’t begin with other celebrities rather than those from the football realm. If you are familiar with the football boy, “Declan Rice” might sound pretty familiar to you. This fabulous 23-years old boy has recently played for the England national team. Sadly, England has been kicked out of the tournament, being defeated by France. But, it’s not about that now. It’s about Declan Rice who was wearing a lefty Sprite Rolex when he got his Hammer of the Year 2021-2022 trophy for his outstanding contribution to the England football team.
One Rolex Sprite for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, please!
Another marvelous football player recording great results in both the Swedish national team and AC Milan club is the famous Ibrahimovic. Matter-of-factly, the iconic player has not once been spotted with his lefty Sprite on his wrist. One of the most recent appearances was in May 2022, when AC Milan was celebrating its 19th championship. The whole team was parading on the Milan streets on an open-top bus, while the members were greeting the fans from the streets. Zlatan was doing that with his Sprite on his wrist.
One Rolex Sprite for Karim Benzema, please!
Just like Ibrahimovic, football fans have seen Benzema in a similar street parade wearing his Sprite Rolex. Only this time, the parade took place on the streets of Madrid, after the Real Madrid team has defeated the English Liverpool F.C.
One Rolex Sprite for Neymar, please!
I have written about World Cup Qatar 2022 Watches in one of my previous posts. There, you will find out that Neymar was actually wearing A Rainbow Rolex during the tournament. As far as it seems, the big player wears different watches for different occasions. And when it’s all about the Paris-Saint Germain club, Neymar chooses to wear the Sprite Rolex, leaving the “Rainbow” version for some more resounding events.
Either way, the curious thing about Neymar is that he wears the Sprite the way it has to be worn: on his right wrist. In contrast, most other Sprite fans wear it on the traditional left one. Still, it’s unlikely for Neymar to be left-handed, as he wears most of his timepieces on his left wrist. Most probably, he is ambidextrous.
Here you have at least 4 resounding names from the football realm who have opted for the Sprite Rolex version. If it seems “too little” for you, know that Steven Zhang (Inter Milan president), Roger Federer (tennis legend), and Reece James (Chelsea football member) have also offered their “vote” for the Sprite Rolex version. As far as it seems, Rolex made a great move with this new concept of GMT-Master II. And am I the only one noticing that people tend to wear their watches on both wrists, unlike the traditional left wrist?!
Rolex Sprite 126720VTNR replica version
Let’s see now what we got with the replica Sprite version. The very first good news about it is that we have got a 1:1 imitation. That already sounds promising, because 1:1 imitations are usually the best of all replicas available in the market. And the priciest, by the way. Perhaps, we will receive more affordable options soon. But, for now, the only ones we have got are the Swiss replica options. The second great news is that the watches come with Swiss 3285 clone movements. This was because the inner mechanisms of these replicas are one step far from the genuine models. Thus, these Rolex imitations feature a self-winding movement providing GMT functioning identical to the genuine watch.
I must say that it has been a while since we haven’t received 1:1 Rolex imitations in our store from our replica manufacturers. And to be honest, I really like what I see in them, especially considering that it’s a pretty new model. All the technical features of this model are fully functional. Thus, owners will have center Hours, Minute and Seconds hands, 24 Hour display, a Second time- zone with independent quick-setting, and stop seconds- all fully and smoothly functional. The front crystal is scratch-proof sapphire with a double coating of anti-reflective material.
I’ve been testing the replica watch for about 1 week, as I was curious about the power reserve. The manufacturers told me it was resistant for up to 64 hrs. The truth is that the watch is resistant for up to 48-50 hours, which isn’t bad at all. The occlusion is to not believe those who promise 60 hours of power reserve, as it is pure theory.
Bottom line
So, Rolex made it again: created a timepiece that is selling like hotcakes. And even if the brand didn’t invent anything different from what we already know, the modest changes in the 126720VTNR model are enough to catch the public’s attention. As for the replica version, I really embrace the fact that the factories we are partnering with have reacted so promptly to the new model. More than that, they made a really fabulous imitation. The Sprite replica watches are a bit “spicy” in terms of price. But the quality I see in them justifies it all. If you still need a more affordable Sprite version, I’ll let you know when we get a Japanese movement collection. It should be a little bit cheaper, as a general rule.
