SMP 300M Bezel Problem

The watch is only 3 months old and the uni-directional bezel isn't uni-directional when the 12 o'clock marker is placed between the 10min-20min and 35min-50min markers.

About a few weeks ago, the bezel became hard to turn dispite rinsing the watch out every other day or so (I live in Florida and the watch gets covered in sweat). Also, the watch hasn't seen salt water). It loosend up after rinsing, but now the above problem happens. Also, the bezel is easy to rotate but doesn't have slop.

I figure one of the spring loaded indent balls is shot. I dread the thought of having to send a brand new watch back for repair due to the inevitable scratches that it will probably get while being repaird. Any one else have this happen? Any advice?
