GMT2 question: Red GMT hand

Did the early GMT2 116710 (new style) ever come in with a red GMT hand, or were they always green?

If not, was the red hand only on the 16710 (previous model)?

newer style ceramic bezel never came with a red GMT hand, only the older aluminum bezel insert model did.

Otherwise I'd probably have to buy one!

Not exactly on topic, however, the Exp II 16570 also had the red GMT hand

The 24 hour hand on the 116710 has always been green with the exception of the BLNR model introduced this year - which isn't red either.
