Question about Explorer II old vs new

[psv]

After a bunch on black-faced Rolex in the stable I've finally decided to get a white faced Explorer II. My first intention was to get an older version with lug-holes but then there is the issue of the newer 3186 movement.

I'm no fan of the text around the dial (is it called engraved flange?) so I am curious about which year/series did that turn up? Is there a late model Explorer II with the new 3186 movement but without that text around the dial?

Last crazy question: the Exp II hands have a black border - are there any Rolex models with maxi-hands with that black border available? I had this slightly crazy idea of putting a pair of maxi-hands on a Exp II... (yeah, I know, some of you might be throwing up at the idea, I'm just toying with it so far...)

Thanks in advance!
