I wish it were a better story. While alcohol was involved, it was not the primary factor. A friend of mine asked to try it on when we were outside on his balcony. He put it on and loved it, but when he started to take it off, one of the spring pins jumped out and the watch fell off his wrist. We grabbed at it but it fell. If we hadn't grabbed at it, it would have just fallen by our feet. Oops. It was totally my fault. I had a few straps I'd change out. For swimming I used the generic Pro Diver rubber on tang. But to dress it up I had a caiman strap. I must have not gotten the pin in all the way. The Super Avenger has a ton of space to work with when taking straps off, but putting them back on is awkward because the holes are very far back on those enormous lugs.
