Sea Dweller Triplock Crown Issue

[Happy_Jake]

I recently acquired a 16600 Sea Dweller circa 2006 from a reputable online seller. Watch is running +0 with 320 amplitude -- so that is fantastic.

I have owned several of these models and am familiar how they generally feel.

I am disappointed with 2 issues I am experiencing however

1) Bezel action is very stiff. Visual inspection shows no accumulation of foreign matter and bezel remains stiff -- too stiff, even after cleaning. Perhaps the tension ring?

2) When unscrewed, the crown does not have a positive "pop" out. Furthermore, when fully unscrewed, the spring action is very slight -- not very springy like the many other Rolexes I have operated over the years. When screwed down, the crown is tight after not more than a revolution and a half or so. Much less than I am used too. What might be the issue here?

I have a basic understanding of how things work, but am certainly not a watchmaker or silled tech by any stretch of the imagination.

Please help me decide whether these issues are readily solvable, or whether I should ask for a refund.

Thanks all in advance
