Rolex GMT-II 126720 VTNR ‘Sprite’ comparison with GEN
- Thread starter CTime
- Start date
After my watch arrived today and I noticed that the Jubilee bracelet is unfortunately too tight for me, I bought two original links and went to a watch dealer. He said the original links didn't fit. Is that possible or was the guy just incompetent?
Do you have pictures of the link you bought? They should fit if you get correcte model
Right Side Clean, left Side Original Rolex (said the seller anyway)
There is not enough space to connect the two parts together.

That's strange - I felt the same way - I bought the Pepsi from @germanynrw and the Jubilee was also too tight for me, with a wrist circumference of just under 21 cm.
So I bought 2 original links for a lot of money in a blister on ebay - and they both fit into the strap of CF 126710BLRO Pepsi.
You can't see the difference visually - you can only feel it. The original Rolex links on the left are slightly softer if you rub the centre of the 3 polished, shiny parts of the bracelet. But the most important thing is that the original Rolex parts fit. A litle tight may be, but they fit!

is there a timetable when Clean factory will update the color of the bezel on 126720VTNR(Sprite)? Thanks
I don’t think they would, it is almost spot on
I just received my QC pics from batch L6V6 and the rehaut looks quite nice on the left-rigth side, however the crown at 12 o'clock is still a bit off on the left.
Believe it or not, my genuine Sprite has the same issue. I guess Clean was also imitating gen’s flaws.I just received my QC pics from batch L6V6 and the rehaut looks quite nice on the left-rigth side, however the crown at 12 o'clock is still a bit off on the left.

Simply ask to your TD for additional links otherwise you can ask to someone who removed then in WTB section
Planning to buy this. Is there a difference in the color of green bezel? Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it
Is there a difference in person for the color green bezel?Hi my fiends,
Sorry for delaying this post so much, here it comes.
The predecessor of this watch dates back to the Rolex 6542 left-handed version in the mid-1950s, there are also left-handed versions of the 1675, and they are very rare.
The differences between Sprite and other GMT are the DW and crown position, they are changed to the 9 o’clock.
Clean still uses Dandong 3285 movement on this model, no need to mention that stability and power reserve are as good as always. Need to mention that Clean spun the movement 180°to fit this model, so the adjusting is different when you use your left hand.
We can see from the pictures that the most difficult part of making a Sprite insert is the transition of the black and green at 3 and 9 position, as well as the color correction of the green part. They nailed both of it, thanks to the massive experience from making green submariner before.
Hope you guys all well,
See you next time!
