Maybe... but the time-frame depends on how much it gets worn and where it gets worn (in an office environment or outdoors doing something more laborious). I've had the first one for three months now, rotating it with other straps on the 233. I just bought the 26x26 for my 217 so we'll see. There are many more PAMs now being delivered with the Vintage calf (the new USA-only 590, to name one); so I'd like to think that OP did their homework.

All I know is that they are comfortable to wear and they look damn good
