If so, then you are qualified to chime in. Until then, it's all 2nd hand hearsay.

I have one and my bezel broke so can I chime in? The only thing cheering me up at the moment is GMT-Master with his "only 3 or 4 confirmed cases worldwide". HaHa - I should be so special. Anyway I didn't hit or even remember knocking mine at all. After swimming in the sea a couple of times with it on I noticed a splintered crack between the numbers. A morning or two later I awoke to a shock - there was no bezel insert in the watch at all. It was lying nearby and had literally 'sprung out' like a circlip and flew several inches.
Mine is currently with Rolex being assessed so I don't know yet whether I have to pay (the watch is within the 2 year w'tee).
The picture attached is of a piece I found on the floor after I took the watch to the AD. I have a very blurry close up of the cracked bezel before it fell out altogether - I'll put this up once I get it off my camera.
