Bezel on GMTc

Hi - was spinning my bezel and noticed that I can wiggle it ever so slightly from side to side .... should it do this or should it be totally tight. I suspect it rotates on some kind of ball bearing mechanism in which case maybe there should be some movement ....

thanks

If i remeber from my reading on various posts, there is a tension spring at the 12 o'clock position. Maybe it needs tweeking?

It's normal and should be able to wiggle. If not, you could not turn it.
