Finally got my 250 back!

As some of you problably remember I had one of the strap change buttons pop out of my PAM 250. After almost 7 weeks of waiting I finally got it back from Panerai looking like new, all fixed up under warranty. The turn around time was much longer than I expected, but i'm just happy to finally have it back--I think I was suffering from Panerai withdrawl.

Here is a picture of the damaged button (on the right):



And a couple old pics of my watch.

7 weeks..WHEW! Can I ask, how often were you changing straps? Every day? Once a week?

It actually happened only a few weeks after I first got the watch, it was about my 3rd or 4th strap change. In the total time that i've owned the watch, it's been gone longer than I've had it. I'm figuring if the part is faulty it'll go early, I know people who do change many times per week for years with no problem.
