Breitling Leather Strap

[jeeperz0]

I bought a Navitimer 18 months ago, the AD told me it was fine for everyday use as long as I was not a builder. The leather strap keeper, the bit that you tuck the tongue of the strap into has fallen apart. I took it back to the A who said 'oh they usually only last a year, you have done well' !!! A new one is £120 !! and its going to last a year !! He seemed impressed it had lasted so well !! Seems to me like very poor quality. Needless to say the strap is not under warranty. He said I could buy the bracelet,'they last almost for ever' at £1100 so they should. Should I accept this appaling quality or make a fuss. Not fit for purpose or durable etc etc ?
