GMTII C with red hand?

Who here thinks it would look better than with the green hand?

I think that it would look rather boring

It is a completely new watch and totally different from the traditional GMT so i think that the change of the 24 hour hand colour was a good thing to do

I like the green hand. I prefer the green dial altogether though, like on the 116718.

I've never seen the green dial in real life (only in photos), but I think it would probably be too much green for my liking.

I like the green hand! But more importantly, will they ever do a C with different color Bezels, I really miss the old black and red.

Big Vote for Red

Why do I want red? Because it would then make the green all the more rare and collectable. I personally love my green accents and wouldn't change a thing...except if I could get a green date wheel.

I like the green hand.

The green dial (only seen two in the flesh) has a sorta browny tinge to it & IMO appears a bit dull

Green arrow hand on GMT ll instead!!!

I prefer the green hand on any black dial as it is more subtle. I also think the green arrow hand should be an option on the GMT ll as it is less distracting for those of us who don't need to know the second time zone on a regular basis. Is this possible?

It's time for a change - the hand's been red for decades. So it's green for me.

Wow, only one person wants the red hand. I was thinking about it, but I guess I do agree that green is better. It just suits it more, and it's more subtle.
