question about 7016/0 bezel

I just got my first small rose Tudor, from 1968 but I noticed bezel turns very easily.
I thought there should be a spring to hold it in place until pushed.
Could someone let me know if these bezels just turned freely?

thanks

Under the bezel there is a friction ring, looks like a washer in very thin metal. When this becomes too flat the resistance when turning the bezel disappears. Pop the bezel off and bend this part gently to give it some profil. Reassemble and Bobs your uncle.

David and Filipao - Thanks
so it should lock just from friction, no other parts like a spring, bracket etc. ?
