Okay, so let’s talk about this Rolex GMT-Master II, the left-handed version, also known as the “Destro” by watch folks. The actual model number is 126720VTNR, I think, and people started calling it the “Sprite” ’cause of the green and black bezel. I decided I had to get my hands on a good replica.
First thing I did was hit up a few online stores that I’d heard good things about. I spent a good few days scrolling through their inventories, you know, checking out the pictures and reading the descriptions. Prices were all over the place, from like 12,400 USD to nearly 50,000 USD from what I gathered online about the real deal. But the replicas were obviously way cheaper.
I found a couple that looked pretty decent. I made sure to find ones with a good weight and that two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert in green and black ceramic – that’s a big part of what makes this watch stand out. Also, I needed it to have that GMT function where you can track a second time zone. This is also one of the features I found online about this watch. It’s got this Oystersteel case and an Oyster bracelet, which is supposed to be super durable.
After a lot of back and forth, I finally placed an order. I was a bit nervous, not gonna lie, ’cause you never really know what you’re gonna get until it arrives. But I kept my fingers crossed.

Waited a Week
The waiting was the hardest part. Every day I’d be checking my email for shipping updates. Finally, after about a week, it arrived.

Unboxing Time
I ripped open that package like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was. It looked pretty good, I gotta say. The weight felt right, and the details were on point.

Giving It a Try
I put it on my wrist and adjusted the bracelet. It fit nicely. I messed around with the GMT hand, setting it to a different time zone. Seemed to work like a charm.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with this replica. It’s a solid watch, and it looks great on my wrist. For the price, I definitely can’t complain. I wore it out to dinner with my wife, and she even complimented me on it, and she doesn’t usually notice my watches! It was a successful mission, and I’m glad I took the plunge.
