You're right. It doesn't matter wearing it in either hand. Lefty had been wearing right hand watches for a long time. I also find that wearing this on the left hand avoids the crown digging into your wrist which I like
I’m a lefty and wear my watches on the left wrist. I think this looks killer on the jubilee bracelet. Like swapping from a 42mm on the wrist to a 36mm you have to wear it for a few days to adjust.
I think this is going to be a very very collectable piece in few years. It's very particular and definetely interesting. I like the watch being different. I'm very curiuous to know how long rolex is going to keep producing these.
I'm left handed and when I got my first watch as a young teen, my father told me that your supposed to wear your watch on your left arm. I suppose he got "supposed" because that's the arm observation reveals where most people wear their watch. So I put it on my left arm. One winter day I threw a snowball at a friend and my watch had a twist-o-flex band on it. It slid right off my wrist and over my hand and landed somewhere under the 6 inches of snow. It was 2 weeks before the snow melted and I was able to find it again. Such is why you wear your watch on your least active arm!
"The Flanders" is my favorite suggestion for a nickname I've heard. He wore a green sweater and opened the Leftorium: a shop for left-handed folks. It's perfect.
Hey, great video, thanks. Did anybody ever think about the possibility that the green colour could be a hint from Rolex that the watch should really be worn on the right side, because right is starboard and starboard is green. 😂
Since it was announced it made since to call it the "Rocky". It's a lefty, or "southpaw" just like Rocky, and the bezel is/are the colors of Philidelphia where Rocky is from and fought. Makes total sense to me.
excellent vid! I really like this watch and I'm a righty! The green GMT hand and the green bezel just make this the perfect watch! I cant wait to get my right hand on this one!
I have a Sinn EZM 2 which has a destro crown so it doesnt dig in the wrist. The date sits at 3:30 and peeks out from your sleeve. Plus it is rated for 5000m WR so its got that going for it.
Great review! on the other hand, 2:39 blue is a historically night color at GMT, so I feel strange this night and night combination. Ok, you're an Batman owner, but green appears more logical for me. of course, both are great.
The Sinn EZM 1.1 has also for safety reasons the crown on the other side. So wear it on the right hand side like usual - no big deal. Yep, it is a Starbucks!
I’ve worn a Rolex on the left for 10 years. Picked this up. Wore it on the right and it took 3 days to feel natural. I work in scrap metal and sort all day. So it can be adapted. Just want to and don’t wimp out
I'm a lefty and this is a perfect watch for me! Not because I can wear it on my right hand but it stops the "crown pinch" happening as I bend my wrist. I have placed myself on a Pepsi waitlist before this came out so I'll have to wait until I get the call for that and then sign up for another waitlist for this...........if that happens :( Also I would call it Mountain Dew, well I'm a bit biased as it's my favourite softdrink ;)
Rolex Mojito is what I’d call it! If there’s one thing ROLEX did, is for right handed people empathize with the lefties and how they feel wearing our right handed watches.
It makes sense to call it the Starbucks. We’re in that day and age, and its a sort of drink like rootbeer, coke, pepsi. Honestly it feels like an optional model, like diamond set daydates or a no-date sub.
No it doesnt make sense.....these stupid ridiculous nicknames for watches......cant wait for this trend to stop!!!! And its not just Rolex, its spreading to Omega and beyond!!!
Maybe a “Grinch” would be a good name for it. I’ve tried it on my wrist and it just feels weird. But I guess for people that wear watches on their right hand it would be a great fit.
I have the original blk/blk gmt ceramic, I am left-handed, and wear my gmt on my right wrist. I wish I could find this timepiece because I would wear it every day, or every other day.
Great review! Im left handed and dont have a GMT. Who knows, maybe one day I may be able to buy one. LOL. To me this iteration has enough green to be the alter EGO of the Hulk. I would therefore call it: The Bruce Banner. Nuff Said!
I think it would look better. I think he did bring up a good point about a sleeve obscuring the date though. If you were actually wearing this on your right wrist then it would make the date more visible while wearing long sleeves
@@ajgross67 Me too. And he did make the point about the obscured date window. But he also said that this watch is more than just turning the movement upside down. Well, if that's the case, why isn't the date window at 3? The argument goes that this watch was a Rolex mistake, and Rolex mistakes are rare, and rarity means greater worth. I don't buy into that syllogism, but the date window suggests that it is was a mistake.
@@mitchmitchell9588 again, I think it was a choice by Rolex to make the date more visible for people who actually plan to wear this on their right wrist as a lefty, aka who they intended this to be for (even if they don’t officially call it a lefty watch). It isn’t a mistake since it would still require a new date wheel made specific for this watch
@@ajgross67 You make an interesting point. I did a 3 minutes of research, and left handed watches GENERALLY still have the date at 3 (if not 6, but those are not at issue). The GMT Destro, the Pelagos LHD, the Citizen Promaster (yep. I said it.) The only one that had the date at 9 was a Hamilton Khaki Aviation. So, is this Rolex actually making a watch truly designed for lefties? One point of speculation is that the President of Rolex is a leftie and he made it as a big foxtrot Oscar to everyone. I guess he would know which side the date is supposed to be on.
Just got mine. I am a lefty. Date is on the left. Its nickname is the "Lefty". Sorry, the lefties get something finally. The gentleman that sold me the watch was just at Rolex trainning and they said they do not want AD's callong it the lefty. Does not mean right handers cannot wear it, but if my Seamaster is a righty, this is a lefty. It is awesome.
I am a lefty and welcome Rolex thinking about us left handed folks who are only 10% of the population! However, like all Rolexes, they are unavailable. Maybe one day I can buy one!
Danny Milton looks and sounds like a guy that starts a fight at bar and then yells “do you know who my father is?” as he’s being thrown out by bouncers. Good review though.
Rolex Green Hornet. In a world of superheroes, the Green Hornet gets lost in not being the common superhero: just as this watch is not the common Rolex anatomy.
While trying to understand this watch, you've just described the issues that left handed people have had with watches...forever. Is the date window covered up by a sleeve? Have to turn the watch so it's upside down to set/wind? smh
A destro watch is designed for lefties who wear the piece on theor right wrist, to be able to easily utilize the crown to manipulate the crown and/or wind the watch. As a lefty who does this, I have to take my watch off to change timezones via hour hand. Sorry for that grammatical nightmare.
You wear your watch on your least physically active (least jarring) arm. In other words, if you are left handed, you wear it on your right arm. Most people are right handed and wear their watch on their left arm. Watch makers therefore, put the crown on the right side because that makes the watch easier to wind while on the wrist. Except for a left-hander wearing one on his right arm. In fact, it makes it very difficult to wind. Putting the crown on the left makes it easier to wind for left-handers. Practically no watches are made with the crown on the left. Very rare. And here's the irony for this watch: the crown on the left makes it easier to be wound by left-handers...but...it's a self-winding watch that doesn’t need to be wound anyway!
wrong i‘m left handed but when i wind my Watch i take it off the wrist put it in my left hand and screw the crown with my right hand. I would wear the Pepsi on my right arm as i do with all of my watches but i would feel uncomfortable to wind the crown with my left hand. So yeah it‘s a bizarre Watch.
As a leftie, I love not having the crown dig into my wrist (which I feel sometimes when I have to swap sometimes for some reason). To me I wonder if a lot of righties will wear this watch and realize lefties had it best all along 😆😆😆 So the irony about this watch is that I really like it design-wise but as a leftie I explicitly don't want it. I got the Pepsi instead.

I'm sorry but dying over "I'm a righty so engaging with the watch with my left hand is just requires a lot of mental energy". Great video :)
Very pretentious
Because it's made for lefty. As simple as that.
You're right. It doesn't matter wearing it in either hand. Lefty had been wearing right hand watches for a long time. I also find that wearing this on the left hand avoids the crown digging into your wrist which I like
Absolutely, it’s now my daily replacing my 116610ln - love the comfort and the whackiness of it
If u ain’t a lefty it ain’t for you!
As a lefty, it's totally trippy to hear you be jealous of the same things I'm jealous of that right-handed watch-wearers have!
The scissors that we lefties had to use in kindergarten were green handled (as opposed to blue for the righties). I think Lefty is a fine name for it.
I’m a lefty and wear my watches on the left wrist. I think this looks killer on the jubilee bracelet. Like swapping from a 42mm on the wrist to a 36mm you have to wear it for a few days to adjust.
you're supposed to wear it on your non dominant hand., so you're weird bro
I think this is going to be a very very collectable piece in few years. It's very particular and definetely interesting. I like the watch being different. I'm very curiuous to know how long rolex is going to keep producing these.
Love the color combination of the watch. I like the idea of no nickname but, if they have to have one...Loki!
Ooo that’s good.
people call it "sprite" very often
@@maxwellgoldie_editor yes, not sure why. Sprite has yellow and green for the lemon-lime flavor. No black to be seen.
The Riddler is the best name for this piece IMO.

Like you said there is more to the watch than the change of position of the crown but go on to mainly talk about the position of the crown.
I’ve always liked the Green Lantern nickname. I’ve also heard Riddler though which is cool because it’s opposite to the Batman.
They flipped the dial upside-down and voila Hodinkee can somehow talk about it for 9 minutes. Hats off to your hardworking video writers.
And changed the date wheel... And had to change the tooling and calibration for testing
I believe that it's a lot better with the jubilee bracelet
Where it left or right - I wear it in my imagination - what a joy !
I call it the Flanders.
I had it but didn’t keep it, as I have much preference for the Pepsi.
Tried it on the other day such a beautiful watch , gmts are my favorite design , but the lefty it’s cool
I'm a lefty, and this is my grail.
3:30. I’m into wearing sleeves too! Wow!
😂😂😂
Should be called Green Arrow, obviously (look at the GMT hand).
Since it was announced it made since to call it the "Rocky". It's a lefty, or "southpaw" just like Rocky, and the bezel is/are the colors of Philidelphia where Rocky is from and fought. Makes total sense to me.
yuck....Philly

I have the Sprite and love it. Such an interesting watch. But I also have Sinn 104 and 105. The EZM is on my radar too!
I guess you should also get a set of left handed clubs to be pleasantly be surprised; how do I grip them, how do I swing...etc
Great review! on the other hand, 2:39 blue is a historically night color at GMT, so I feel strange this night and night combination. Ok, you're an Batman owner, but green appears more logical for me. of course, both are great.
The Ned Flanders.
Glad that name didn’t stick
You mean the watch or the guy?
I really want this name to stick
The green lantern, Riddler and Loki are great nicknames
Meteor Man
1993 classic
colors are spot on
great name similar sound to Batman
Loved that movie growing up!
thx for the review, please could you answer my question if it has AR coating under the glass? thank you
It’s a pretty piece, no doubt - but as a former GMT II owner, the changed date and crown positioning is the trippiest thing to me.
The Sinn EZM 1.1 has also for safety reasons the crown on the other side. So wear it on the right hand side like usual - no big deal. Yep, it is a Starbucks!
Jean-Frederic Dufour, CEO of Rolex, must be a southpaw and wanted a destro crown 😂
Green Lantern is the most fitting. Color fits. GL wears his ring on the right hand too, the way this watch should be worn. :)
I’ve worn a Rolex on the left for 10 years. Picked this up. Wore it on the right and it took 3 days to feel natural. I work in scrap metal and sort all day. So it can be adapted. Just want to and don’t wimp out
Same here. I wear a watch on my left wrist but have been wearing the Sprite on my right wrist for a few months and it used to it now. Enjoy!!
Rolex Sprite is an instant CLASSIC!
It's called the riddler
Danny videos are just the best
I'm a lefty and this is a perfect watch for me! Not because I can wear it on my right hand but it stops the "crown pinch" happening as I bend my wrist.

Agreed. When I first saw it I thought Starbucks as well.
No it doesnt make sense.....these stupid ridiculous nicknames for watches......cant wait for this trend to stop!!!! And its not just Rolex, its spreading to Omega and beyond!!!
Agreed John. 👍
Love this piece 🔥
Call it the skoda 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe a “Grinch” would be a good name for it. I’ve tried it on my wrist and it just feels weird. But I guess for people that wear watches on their right hand it would be a great fit.
Flanders!
I thought this one was already the Starbucks? beverages makes more sense than super heros when you look at the full lineup!
Starbucks related to Submariner model.
GMT is called Sprite
Dude this is the Flanders.
I want to buy this watch but no stock in Singapore now due to the overwhelming demand for this model worldwide
Love my Bruce Banner GMT-Master II. Now if only Leica can make a left-eyed M camera and with a reversed right hand manual focus-scale 28mm lens...
I have the original blk/blk gmt ceramic, I am left-handed, and wear my gmt on my right wrist. I wish I could find this timepiece because I would wear it every day, or every other day.
I'm not sure why this gets so much hate when the Pelagos LHD gets so much love. So too the Seiko destros too
The Ned Flanders (runs the lefty store and green & black is his outfit color); alternatively the Southpaw
Im taking this and running with it !! LOL
Just put my name on the list. Can't wait to get my hands on it in 700 days !
Great review! Im left handed and dont have a GMT. Who knows, maybe one day I may be able to buy one. LOL.
To me this iteration has enough green to be the alter EGO of the Hulk. I would therefore call it: The Bruce Banner. Nuff Said!
Is this a safe space to say I like this watch?
It’s an epic piece
This is the Riddler.
Dumb question: Shouldn’t the date be at 3, regardless where the crown is? Am I missing something?

People calling this the Sprite. But all I see is Spotify.
The Riddler!!!
Love your outfit dude, fits you so well!
This aged well. This is going to be a gem, and if you can get one. Amazing watch. Folks will wish they’d got it.
If we are going with ‘Hero nicknames’ why not Green Ranger?
Just got mine. I am a lefty. Date is on the left. Its nickname is the "Lefty". Sorry, the lefties get something finally.

...I have the crown on the left on my Apple Watch...this makes a lot of sense to me for all the right reasons...
Destro. Isn't that the term for a right handed watch with crown on the left? Much better than Sprite.
Is “The Riddler” taken already?
Could you do the Omega Aqua Terra 38mm next please
I am a lefty and welcome Rolex thinking about us left handed folks who are only 10% of the population! However, like all Rolexes, they are unavailable. Maybe one day I can buy one!
Green hornet!!!
On the list for the Batman. Actually, I'm going to the authorized dealer to check the riddler as an option
Imagine not having a lefty review this.
“Is it made for left-handed people? Idk.”
Well…where’s the crown?
Danny Milton looks and sounds like a guy that starts a fight at bar and then yells “do you know who my father is?” as he’s being thrown out by bouncers. Good review though.
Rolex Green Hornet. In a world of superheroes, the Green Hornet gets lost in not being the common superhero: just as this watch is not the common Rolex anatomy.
The green monster or the Rolex hul

This is the Half-Hulk Lefty.
Why have you people basically tanked the podcast?
Stephen left
that is an excellent watch, different. As for the name, how about, the Thin Mint
I think I have heard the name Riddler for this.
While trying to understand this watch, you've just described the issues that left handed people have had with watches...forever.
Is the date window covered up by a sleeve?
Have to turn the watch so it's upside down to set/wind?

The technical sheet was missing at the end of the video
this one is obviously The Riddler... wearing it makes you think and we have a batman and batgirl
Why not call it the “cynical marketing exercise requiring no effort “
1:03 yes, no, no
c'mon, you should know this
I’ve hear it called the Joker a lot lately, given the Batman & Batgirl
The (L)oki 🐊
No predecessor ? There was a leftie 6542, even if colour is different.
I’m a lefty and offended that anybody would be jealous of us. It sucks to be a lefty end of story.
