Arrows ⇐ GMT/EXII

Arrows are the essence of the GMT & EXII. They also appear to perform a function on aircraft wings.

Not related, but a little eye candy, yes those colors are real. Went out to dinner in Canberra tonight.

As a matter of interest can a 1680/5513 bezel/insert fit on a 1675 middle case?

The "Red Arrows" are a special British aerobatics Air Force Squad.
