Does you Submariner C bezel move if you press it?

Hello Guys!


Could you check something real quick for me?

The bezel with the numbers that rotates if you push it against the watch... will it push down a bit like its loose or has a spring mechanism....

let me know!

GMTc has a totally different bezel mechanism. It does not use springs like the subc does

Compared to the older aluminum insert bezel the ceramic is a completely different system.The ceramic insert sits on 3 spring loaded ball bearings and a spring loaded click stop these are drillings in the case ring.But IMHO this tiny movement up and down especially if you dive could be a design flaw.So if you dive very important to rinse well after in fresh water just encase small items like sand get under bezel.
