My bezel is broken

[MartinQ]

I have a Tissot PRS200 and the bezel has gradually lost resistance over the past few weeks. Yesterday it started to rotate in both directions.

Is this likely to be an easy fix by an indie, or am I due a trip to an official repairer?

Does anyone have a recommended repairer in the Mansfield, Nottingham, Derby area?

Thanks.

If you can take it off (might pop off with a scalpel used to lever the bezel off or have screws that you need to loosen), you may find a metal removable ring with tabs that stick out "into" the bezel when the watch is assembled. These tabs will probably have been bent flat over time so just angle them away from the ring - the bigger the angle, the firmer the bezel will need rotating.

I could be completely wrong, though, so apply logic to whatever you find.
