Look and works fine but not as resilient as I would have hoped.

I loved everything about this belt and was planning on buying another at some point. I really liked the locking mechanism, the style and feel. BUT... after about a year of wear, a tiny cap must have fallen off the locking mechanism and I can no longer wear this belt. The metal bar that runs through buckle had a small end fall off (the end opposite of the hook you pull to release). So now the bar just falls out and I cannot wear this belt. I REALLY want to buy another one because I loved this belt but I fear that within another year of wear the same thing will happen. Maybe it was just a fluke.
