Good to know that your problem was dealt with. Hope that this will be a long term solution

See this:

It sounds like the preload was too high, which will destroy bearings much sooner.

If you have poor service life in the future ask to see if you can have the bottom bracket shell faced and chased. External bearing BBs are relatively sensitive to bearing shells that are out of alignment with each other.

NB: there is always the clause : "specifications subject to change without notice" .. (you may have skipped over it)
