Bokey TimeIn 2022, Rolex launched a brand – new GMT – Master II watch. The black – green color combination is called the “Sprite Bezel”, and with the crown on the left – hand side, it is also known as the “Left – handed” model. It has a unique and refreshing design. After its launch, it became a popular product in 2022. When it was first introduced, some watch enthusiasts asked me when a replica version would be available. At that time, only small factories and the V9 factory were making replicas, but their craftsmanship was not top – notch. Later, after the C factory successfully purchased an authentic model for replication, we now have the current top – of – the – line version. The workmanship is excellent, and the degree of restoration is extremely high. Today, Bokey will introduce to you the C – factory (Clean – factory) Rolex GMT Sprite black – green bezel left – handed replica watch M126720VTNR – 0001.
1.Clean’s exclusive black/green one-piece fired bezels feature colors that are extremely close to the original. With platinum scale filling, the craftsmanship inherits the previous Coca-Cola bezel/Inter Milan color-blocking technology. There is a slight mutual “color bleeding” effect between the two colors, and where the two colors meet, there is no obvious dividing line. Ordinary color-blocking ceramic bezels on the market have a straight dividing line, which appears extremely rigid.
2. Because the GMT hand/green hand and second hand of the 126720 are shorter than those of the ordinary 126710.
3.The watch case and bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel, with the bracelet being an AR version. This timepiece offers two bracelet options: one is a five-bead steel bracelet, and the other is an Oyster steel bracelet, commonly known as a three-bead chain. In fact, it follows the craftsmanship of the original Clean GMT-Master. The case, dial, and steel bracelet are identical to the original model, with only a left-handed case newly crafted. As for the bezel, the Sprite bezel features an alternating black and green color scheme, which is essentially a combination of the black part of the Inter Milan bezel and the green bezel of the Submariner. This creates a unique and stylish design.
Review of the C – factory Rolex GMT series M126710 Sprite Bezel:
First, let’s take a look at the ceramic bezel. The C – factory’s exclusive black/green one – piece fired bezel has a color very close to the original. The bezel is filled with platinum scales, and the craftsmanship inherits the previous techniques used for the “Coke Bezel” and “Inter – Milan Bezel” color – matching. There is a slight “bleeding” effect between the two colors. At the intersection of the two colors, there is no obvious dividing line. The common color – matching ceramic bezels of other factories have a straight dividing line, which looks extremely rigid.
It has a solid center shaft, three – dimensional hands, polished edges of the hour markers, full – filled luminous scales, clear engraved characters on the dial without burrs. There is an anti – counterfeiting mark at the 6 o’clock position, which is composed of 152 laser points. The dial can be said to be a one – step – solution, eliminating the trouble of upgrading. The upper part of the bi – directional two – color rotating bezel of the new GMT – Master II represents the night time, and the lower part represents the day time. It can be used in conjunction with the unique green triangular arrow 24 – hour hand on the dial. With one watch, you can read the time of two time zones simultaneously, making it a must – have watch for global travel.
The mirror is made of sapphire, with the same transparency as the original. The 3, 6, and 12 o’clock scales are chamfered, and the details are in place. The luminous filling is also very full. At the same time, the calendar window originally located at the 3 o’clock position has been moved to the 9 o’clock position. Although the design of the Sprite Bezel is rare and bold, this design is not very friendly to watch enthusiasts who are used to wearing watches on their right hands. However, it is full of fashion elements.
The case is made of 904L stainless steel, which is corrosion – resistant and oxidation – resistant. The middle case of the watch is made of a whole solid Oyster steel. Moreover, the crown guard shoulder moved to the left is integrated with the middle case to protect the winding crown, and at the same time, it ensures a water – resistance depth of up to 100 meters.
The strap is from AR, and there are also two options for accessories: a five – link strap and an Oyster – style strap. The five – link chain – structured stainless – steel strap has each link polished. The 904L Oyster steel commemorative five – link solid link, with the outer links having a matte surface and polished edges, and an Oyster safety clasp. It can be extended or shortened, which is very convenient.
The bottom cover has a solid – bottom design, with excellent brushing and a clear sense of hierarchy. The movement uses the 3186 integrated movement, a KIF shock absorber, and a blue hairspring. Each movement has passed the QE simulation test by a gyro – meter. The functions are the same as the original. The date is adjusted by quickly adjusting the hour hand, which is exactly the same as the original. The date can be quickly adjusted forward or backward with the hour hand, the hands can be adjusted clockwise, it has a 2 + 1 three – time – zone display, a bi – directional bezel, and an instant – jump date. Especially, in the second gear, the hour hand can be adjusted backward to make the date reverse – jump very stably. This is currently the most advanced movement. This is a great advancement, solving other deficiencies. It can be said that other factories cannot achieve this with their movements.
Summary: Overall, the C – factory Rolex Sprite Bezel left – handed watch is well – handled in terms of both appearance and movement. The one – piece fired ceramic bezel has a color very close to the original, and the movement functions are also the same as the original. The black – and – blue combination is full of fashion sense. It can also show a person’s aesthetic, taste, and personal characteristics. Moreover, it is an excellent matching accessory.
