Swatch Jeremy Scott Melted Minutes Wrist Watch & Hypnotic Heart Pocket Watch
Swatch's new resident weirdo designer Jeremy Scott follows up his first collection for the watch brand with another less than a year later. I first discussed the Jeremy Scott collection of watches for Swatch here - focusing on the Lighting Flash Watch that I thought was pretty cool. There are five new ones now, arguably more strange than the first collection.For me the weirdest piece is one done in a sort of naked color tone with a burnt/melted dial. Mr. Scott - wearing strange hair?? as always- calls it the Melted Minutes watch. I envision it as art for art's sake and would see no reason or purpose to wear it. At best it looks a Swatch assembly line production accident. Even with Scott's ostentatiously unorthodox fashion sense, I don't see many outfits where this melted dial watch fits the bill at all. Passionate Swatch collector's might see things differently though.Probably the most interesting piece is not a wrist watch at all but the Swatch Jeremy Scott Hypnotic Heart pocket watch

Stolen AP - please be on the lookout
Hello AP members, I am saddened to have make this post.During my visit to Barcelona Spain, I was physically assaulted by two men who robbed me of my treasured AP Bartorelli on July 11, 2017.I am told that usually it's a pickpoket crime and one doesn't even know until back at the hotel, everyone, including the police, were surprised by the physical attack. It could have ended much worse had they used weapons.There is a police report, the watch details have been shared on many other watch sites, with watch dealers, reported to a 'stolen watch database', and AP has been notified.I just kindly ask to be on the look out for this watch. It is rare and if/when it surfaces it should be easy to spot.It's an Audemars Piguet Bartorelli ROO Scuba 125th Anniversary. This timepiece has a PVD case and bronze bezel. There are only 50 of these out there and this is numbered #36/50. Thank you for listening and PLEASE be careful out there!!!!!

Incoming Speedmaster!!
While I've wanted the Snoopy and Alaska Project Speedmasters for longer than I can remember, one look at the Apollo 11 35th Anniversary Speedy drove me nuts and before you know it, I was busy talking to Henry (who has been awesome). I should hopefully have the watch by the end of the week if all goes to plan. Needless to say, I cannot wait! Copper

Is there a panerai alternative?
I was just looking around for a watch which was abit casual, yet still has that it factor (history, quality or awesome design? I have no idea how to describe the it which makes a Pam what it is). I settled on a panerai radiomir, due to its slightly dressier styling than the luminor and slimmer profile. Either a 380, 337 or a 512 are models which I would consider. But I want to mix it up abit and compare other watches in that price range which might be an alternative to the radiomir and I've come up lacking.... A couple of brands which I've looked at: 1. bell & Ross (their square cases seem bulky and the fact that the screws done line up would drive me mad)2. margarette (yes. They are much more affordable and I've owned one before... But it just didn't do much for me). So my question is, have you had a serious alternative before when you were considering getting a panerai? And why?
