Icon10 Incoming!!!

So yesterday I found myself in the Swatch store and I managed to buy a Sistem51 in blue! The person in the store only had a few as most of them had been pre ordered, he kept them hidden in a drawer by the cash register. The watch feels great and is very well made. It is a very interesting piece. 90 Hr power reserve, 51 parts, one screw.

Here are the pics:

Congrats! Maybe you would know the answer to this, its a non-hacking watch right? The sales person at the swatch store couldn't tell me.

It's a great and fun watch! Congrats. What's funny is that when I stopped by the store to try it on, the sales person handed me the 51 but I suddenly realized I didn't have a place to leave my Rolex! There wasn't a tray LOL! I had to put my rolex on my other wrist. The store manager had no idea what Rolex is.

Hi Alfredo, did you manage to find this watch in Mexico City? I have been to a couple of swatch stores here and they weren't even aware that this model existed. In any case, congratulations on your watch!

Hi! Yes I bought it at the Swatch store in Paseo Interlomas. They only have a few, so you have to ask for it!

My first thought was "another SWATCH thread in the ROLEX forum..."
and "another plastic watch for kids..."
After reading the thread I ordered a red Swatch Sistem 51
last Sunday and the watch arrived today (3 day delivery time)
Really nice watch ! The strap feels soft and the watch looks
good on my wrist.

I was also skeptical at first, the the quality and the features you get for the price are unbeatable!
