Seamaster Pro 300 Hard Turning Bezel

[IMG2]

I recently acquired a Seamaster Pro 300, the pre Bond style with the solid hands and dashes instead of dots on the dial. It is a wonderful watch and my Submariner will get less wrist time because of that. One of the things I'm less than impressed with on the Seamaster is the bezel. It seems that the bezel is difficult to very difficult to turn in comparison to the Submariner, is this normal? Do any of you have both a Seamaster and a Submariner how does turning the bezel compare on your watches. The watch just came back from a complete service before I purchased it so it's got a 2 year warranty if something isn't right.

My midsize SMP auto from 2003 always had a hard-to-turn bezel, to the point I barely used it. Conversely, my new SMP-C has a bezel that turns much easier. Can't really explain the difference why.

Cheers,

It shouldn't be hard to turn but it's an easy fix.

It just came from a complete servicing, so I'm thinking this is the way Omega meant it to be.
