Omega SMP Bezel

Hey all, I just purchased my first omega-- a Seamaster pro 2254.50. So far, I am loving it, the feel and quality of the watch. I did have a few questions. First off, I noticed that at the ~8 oclock portion of my bezel, if I push down on it.. it makes a little click, and pushes down, JUST A LITTLE BIT.. its like a fraction of a millimeter, but it makes a noticeable click. I can actualyl see the bezel depress just a little, and I am wondering if that is normal and part of the ratchet mechanism. Secondly, have any of you ever had any problems with the bezel black print rubbing/scratching off? Thanks!!
