AVI-8 has introduced a new limited edition watch
AVI-8 has introduced the P-51 Mustang Twilight Tear Automatic Limited Edition. The collection draws its inspiration from the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft, "Twilight Tear." This aircraft is a symbol of courage and resilience, delivered to the 78th Fighter Group in Duxford, England, in April 1945, towards the end of World War II. Assigned to Lt. Hubert "Bill" Davis, the aircraft was promptly named after his favourite racehorse. Davis achieved remarkable feats and played a pivotal role in the famous raid on Hitler's Eagle's Nest.
In a gesture of respect and gratitude, AVI-8 pledges five per cent of net sales from this limited-edition collection to the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum.

Ring-a-ding-ding - how to choose the perfect wedding ring
Jewellery expert Sach Kukadia from 7879 shares the differences between platinum, gold and white gold rings. What is a platinum ring? Platinum is a naturally white metal that is both harder to find and more durable than gold. It's used in a much purer form than white gold, which is why it's also typically more expensive. The durability of platinum is one of the many reasons it's a popular choice for wedding rings. This is based primarily on the common belief that it is entirely scratch-proof. While this is technically true, it doesn't mean your ring will be completely free of blemishes throughout its lifetime.
