Question about Tudor Big Block 79170

I'm hoping there are a few 79170 Tudor Big Block owners out there.

I have a question, should the rotating bezel on the 79170 click when it turns or should it just turn smoothly?

Thank you.

I have a Tudor T791700. It's not with me currently. If my memory is correct it's fitted with a bi-directional non-ratcheted bezel, therefore turns smoothly.

Many times they are gunked up, need a remove/clean/replace

Mine turns smoothly (if I ever turn it, which I don't...)
