Tudor 79170 Bezel

My bezel turns very stiff. Is there anything I can do to make it turn easier?. I thought maybe WD-40 or some other light lubricant.

Thanks.....Tommy

DON"T USE WD40!!! That can ruin the crystal gasket.

Best advice is to remove the bezel and clean underneath. Take it to a competent watchmaker, they should be able to fix this quickly.

This comes up a lot; WD40 will not ruin any seals on a reasonably modern Rolex.

A small spray can't hurt, but if it's dirty under there it would be best to get it cleaned out as Dan suggests.
