PAM 111M Strap Pin Broke of in Lug, Help!

[Jmabshir]

Got my first rep watch a PAM111m noob from Trusty today, looked great!!!

Only problem is when I was switching out the strap one of the pins broke with some of the threads remaining in the case!!!! The other pin came out with little to no force and went in smoothly, the lower lug however was significantly harder..

Not even 24 hours and the watch is in not wearable, anyone have any advice on how to fix this as well as where I can get a new pin? First I think the threads have to be extracted and probably chased thinking that it was crossed threaded from the factory

This is starting to be a bit depressing

Thanks for you help. Jason

Andrew from trusty was pretty prompt on his response, wants me to send it back, but I'm thinking it'll probably cost the same as having it repaired locally. Any ideas on cost?
