GMT Master II Question

What year was the ceramic bezel introduced?

I am in the market for a GMT, having previously owned several from the 90's i replaced a few red-black bezels over the years and would this time prefer ceramic.

I cant seem to find the right answers searching on the forums.

Thanks!

I'm gonna say either 2008 or 2009 as I thought I bought one of the first years production of the Black ceramic bezel and mine is a v serial which is 08 or 09.
