GMT Master vs GMT Master II

I am sure there is a thread on here, but when I searched I could not find one. What is the difference between the models and when did they switch over to the II?

Thanks!!!!

Keith,
The main difference is the ability to separate the 24 hour hand w/ the 12 hour hand on the GMT II. This allows 2 timezones at once without moving the bezel.

Fonts, stick markers, lume, acrylic vs. sapphire crystal, lug holes (depending on serial). There is a great website, I think it's gmthistory.com
