Your bezel should only turn counter clockwise...Are you saying it turns both ways?

Most probably if it no longer clicks between intervals!
That, or better yet, an AD with an inhouse watch tech, who could easliy fix a click spring in 5 minutes flat without having to send away and wait for RSC if you're not near to one.

$5 part. A local watchmaker with a Rolex parts account will have one on hand and should be able to fix you up inside of 10 minutes.

Yea, sounds like a broken or missing spring. It should only rotate one way- did you have your bezel off lately and forget to replace it? It only takes a second to pop it off and see if its broken or MIA.
Let us know what you find! -nate
