Agree with Mark; Sportier Look of Red Needles
In Response To: Re: About Those Little Red Needles on the Autavia 1163 GMT ()

I agree with Mark that this must have been a style decision . . . someone probably through that these red needles would be a nice sporty accent. Of course, we see a lot of red accents on the 1163 MH and the 1163 GMT.

Interesting that the pilots said, "please leave the needles black" and Heuer responded with the change back to black.
