So does anyone know if the quick change strap system malfunctions it results in a case replacement?

I just read this and it threw me for a loop. That would be a spendy fix if you're outside of warrantly.

I remember reading about that problem on this forum. I do believe that the strap system was repaired. So no case replacement. Would indeed be a pricey fix outside warranty!

I know ONE of you edu-ma-cated PAM guys can confirm the answer to this question. I'm just dying to find out. Anybody actually have this happen?......

I had a strap changing issue on my 312 and they replaced the case. The 297 I have has the same problem as well. Just sent it in to PASC

If the only way to repair is a case replacement then that would be a surprising design "oversight" I would have thought!

This is kind of scary for quick change systems then. A new case can cost $2K-$3K. I'd imagine it would be the weakest point on the watch. Yikes!

mine was replaced due to the malfunction of the quick strap change button...

There were afew cases of such malfunction affecting PAM 233's in the past...

I read on another forum that they are replacing the quick-change systems only now. I'll try and find the post I saw about it.
