Just over a year ago my PO strap (with the white stitching) gave up and split after only 12 months service. My AD replaced it as it was clearly faulty.

Now the replacement strap has started to flake at the edges after just over 12 months service. My AD says this time that "straps are not covered by guarantee and it would be considered wear and tear".

I think this is unacceptable for straps which are more than some half decent watches. Has anyone else had similar probs? Do you think I should stand my ground on this? Can't afford to keep replacing these straps annually the way they're going!
