I think Rolex has done the red 24 hr. hand a few million times...

As for a custom dial with red script, not seen that on a GMT-II. Some old gilt dialed GMTs had the red line. And some replica makers have done GMT-II's that way

I'm not a fan of the green GMT hand. I get why they did it for the anniversary, but I think it should have gone back to red. It makes the hand POP much more and is more readable.

Actually, do you realize the GMT Master II did come with a red hand. I has assumed you were referring to the Ceramic version.

I hear you. I would like the GMT IIc better if it had the red 24 hour hand too.
