Quick question about a thunderbird bezel

I have a friend who bought an older datejust thunderbird. The gold bezel turns both ways with no "clicking," which I think is normal, but my understanding is that you should have to push down to make it turn freely and then pull back up on it to lock it. His doesn't lock. Is it broken? Or are there some like that? Or maybe he got a fake.

Thanks

Greg

no problem

The bezel just turns, and mine is stiff to turn in either direction.
