Bezel Issue with Bronze Darwin Aquatimer

I just purchased a used Bronze Aquatimer (Darwin edition). I love it and the
timekeeping and chronograph are working great. My only concern is the bezel
won't turn. Is there a way I can fix this myself? Perhaps the bronze on
bronze has seized up? Or is it user error on my part? I know the bezel is
only supposed to turn counter-clockwise, but I can't seem to budge it.

Thanks for any tips,

Tonny,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to finally get it going and now the watch is
perfect. I ended up putting a few drops of WD-40 around the seam of the bezel
and the case. After letting it sit for a few minutes I tried again turning
the bezel and was successful. Afterwards, I washed the watch since I wanted
to get as much of the WD-40 out as possible (over time it can have a tendency
to become sticky). I might add a silicon spray later to keep it lubricated.

I assume your isse is with the outer bezel and not the inner bezel. The outer
bezel should turn bidirectionally. Your issue shouldn't be with lubrication.
The tolerances between the bezel and the case are quite tight. It's likely
that there was oxidation jamming it up or even fuzing them together. Now that
you've got it moving you should rotate the bezel often to keep it that way and
always flush it with clean fresh water when you have exposure to salt water or
even prolonged exposure to salt (ocean/sea side) air.

Clem, you're correct it was with the outter bezel seized with the case. I
think it's a weird design if the user needs to turn the bezel regularly to
keep it smooth. The gap is incredibly tight, but I think a thin layer of
silcon will help prevent it from seizing in the future. With all my dive
watches, I do wash them in warm water after they've been in the ocean or lake.
I can't wait to take this one out on the water.

Thanks,
