Did Rolex Submariner LV ever had green dial?

[tkc324]

Last Saturday we had a GTG at the new Rolex Boutique in Chicago. We struck up a long conversation with the store manager Ryan, for about 45 minutes. The man was very friendly and nice, and turned out to be a Paneristi as well, which was interesting. Anyways, Ryan mentioned that he had read somewhere that Sub LV had a green dial like the GMT2C for 1 year only back in 2002-2003. I am pretty confident that it never had a green dial because lets face it, it would be one of the most saught after Submariner in the recent history. He asked that we research and get back to him. What better place to ask this question then right here on TRF? Lets hear it TRF, and please be nice in your responds, because I am going to send him this thread and hopefully turn him into a TRF regular.
