Swatch Sistem51
« on: July 30, 2014, 09:03:49 PM »
Just some pics of the Sistem51 I received in the mail this morning...

Initial impression: its super light, so it automatically feels kind of cheap... but then I remind myself that this is after all, a cheap watch. The strap is supposedly leather, but feels synthetic, perhaps with a slight rubber base. It feels nice to touch and looks to be slightly water resistant. It feels more robust than your regular leather strap.

On the wrist, the S51 wears a little bigger. The case itself is pretty thick, and can't seem to sit perfectly on my wrist. Not to say that it is uncomfortable though; the lack of weight definitely helps with the wear-ability. For one day on the wrist, I've got to admit it was a cheap thrill and apart from the rotor being a touch too audible, there's very little to fault the S51. Especially not with a tiny RM500 price-tag!











Trying to capture a lume-shot was incredibly difficult, but here's a quick attempt:

Cool!
Wondering when will it reach local shores and available at local Swatch outlets and Ads...

The first wave will be available at Swatch KLCC on 15th August with a RRP or RM490. I'm told after they're sold out, those who missed out will have to wait till Sept before the second shipment comes in.

Dunno if they are worth collecting or not, but my contact only had two left, so I thought why not :lol:

Day3 on the wrist so far, and apart from the noisy winding movement, I am quite happy with it.

Cool watch.
Been waiting for it to arrive here in Malaysia.
Can this watch be pre-booked?

Is the leather strap comfortable on the black? How is the accuracy?

Hi,

I am James from KK.  Just got my S51 this morning. In KK nobody is buying it, so quite a lot of stock left.  This is my first automatic watch.  Love every bit of it.

I just had a quick look at the Swatch store in Pavillion today, and they have ready stock available for all colours. Looks like all that BS about a limited run at KLCC only was just them trying to hype it up. Caught up with my contacts in Gardens, and they too bought from Swatch MidValley without any issues, and with available stock for all colours.

There is a detailed review on the movement, accuracy seems not good.

Hi, was wondering where to send this watch for servicing in KL. As i got it from forumer in Singapore, does Uboat has authorised dealer in KL for me to send this piece for servicing?

Any feedback is most welcomed.

Cheers!!
