I have custom watch straps, so I usually remove the factory straps right away, thats why it might seem like it's just me. My 47mm B&R and my 212 50 flyback both had stipped strap pin threads. Of course the suspicion immediately goes to the buyer--like I did it. But no, I didn't, promise. I have all the correct tools and gentle hands. They were over-tightened during assembly--plus the metal is probably not the highest grade. Andrew is going to send me a couple new pins, God bless him. Josh also agreed to replace the pin. GOOOD dealers. I'll update.
The moral of this story is give yer watches a good once over when you get them. You might find something you'd rather not find.
Peace love, Merry Christmas to all my RWG buddies.
