Rolex GMT Master Sprite
Watches and Wonders is in full sway in Geneva this year. As always, there has been a lot of fan conjecture about the anticipated innovations from Rolex in the months leading up to the event. While there were many different types of rumors this year, one of the more audacious and persistent ones among those who collect luxury watches was that the Swiss company was planning to issue a left-handed version of its swanky GMT-Master Sprite. Many fans disregarded this as idle chit-chat given the brand's cautious release policy over the last few years, but now that the event has started, these suspicions have come to pass. Rolex GMT Sprite comes up with fresh green and black color scheme and a conspicuous 9 O’clock crown design. Fans of the brand will be thrilled by the attention-grabbing change of pace offered by the new Rolex GMT-Master Sprite.
The Perpetual mechanism is concealed within its waterproof shell, undetectable to the watch's owner. It can only be accessed by Rolex-certified watchmakers using their specialized equipment. Rolex GMT-Master “Sprite”, like previous iterations of the watch, offers a robust water resistance of 100 meters. This striking mechanism branded the world over for its chronometric recital and must be admired for what it is: a work of art, a splendid tiny universe, a myriad of figures, forms, sizes, colors, polished and satin-finished surfaces, constantly with affectionate upkeep, and getting along with watchmaking tradition.
Although the new Rolex GMT-Master Sprite's Oyster steel casing should be recognizable to both casual and devoted watch fans, Rolex makes a myriad of adjustments to its iconic design. The large athletic lugs, gleaming case sides, and bidirectional coin edge bezel, all appeared there however, the typical parts have been turned 180 degrees for the new Rolex Sprite model. The screw-down crown, prominent squared-off crown guards, and the GMT-Master’s "cyclops" date window magnifier have all been shifted to the 9 o'clock position, maybe as a gesture to Rolex's left-handed CEO Jean Frédéric Dufour.
Is Rolex a good investment?
“High demand, Low availability” is the fundamental formula for qualifying a product for value increases. Additionally, the third qualification is “price accessibility”, which means it’s not too expensive that only a few can afford it. While we find exorbitant pieces following similar investment patterns, we seldom see availability factored in. In the case of Rolex, they are clearly at the top of all three categories. Price is affordable, Demand is high, and supply is quite limited. Rolex has therefore outperformed nearly every other type of investment over the previous decade.
How long would a Rolex lasts?
Rolex watches mostly would last a lifetime and can even be passed down generations if they have been appropriately cared for as they should be. Rolex advises ten years between service intervals; nevertheless, they can be serviced every five years. It is critical to service your watch when you believe it requires it. It would enable the watch to endure a lifetime.
