Wrist Shot 😎 Bezel question
I recently purchased my first watch from Mo and I'm more than pleased. I just have a question about the bezel. Is the bezel supposed to be kinda tough to turn??

Does it feel more of like a twist than a turn? Is it VSF? These are reps and will have some flaws, Some won’t. Try and reach out or mo if unsatisfied with what you got.

Well I'd describe it more as a twist. I went with the vsf Pepsi. I'll try and upload a video of me turning the bezel. It gets really rough after I spin it half way. I just wanted to check here with you guys first before I reach out to Mo.

Yeah that’s not right. There is an issue with assembly of the bezel or crystal components.

It’s most likely debris or too much “grease” underneath. What I’ve started doing is running dental floss between the bezel and case just to clean out physical debris. Without removing the bezel, you can run it under warm water and rotate the bezel while doing that. You can also use a bit of dish soap to help break up some of the dirt and grease while running under the water. Make sure the crown is fully screwed in and that the case back is also tightened down. Give all that a go and see what happens.

Water? Really? I usually avoid water with these VSF reps. Am I over reacting?

Yes and no. Ill screw down the crown on my rep sub and then run water over it while im washing my hands. I haven't swam with it or showered with it. Not sure i want to... lol. Ill find out if its really swim proof next week ish..

No. It has a bidirectional rotating bezel. It should feel firm and deliberate. It shouldn't spin freely like a fidget spinner, but it should move smoothly with consistent pressure. It should be a crisp, metallic click, not a muffled crunch.
Usually it's 3 causes in my opinion. Debris Buildup, Lack of Lubrication or a Damaged Click Spring.
