Hi,
I own a Seamaster Divers Chronograph (2599.80) bought new in February this year. I'm very happy with the watch and particularly the accuracy but one thing I've noticed is that the bezel has become very easy to turn to the extent it is quite easy to accidentally knock round. Certainly it can be turned/spun by one finger with a a medium amount of pressure.
At the back of my mind is that when I was researching the watch on the various forums (including this one)there seemed to be a fair bit of comment/criticism that the Seamaster bezel was stiff to turn even on the more recent models (I know a few years ago there was an issue with the grease used) When I first had the watch I would probably have agreed but now I wonder if it is a little too far the other way? I have swum occasionally in the watch and rinse it frequently which I understand makes it easier to turn by keeping the grease from drying out but I wonder if it is a bit looser now than it should be? Anyone have any views/experiences to share?
