Is there a way to tighten the Seamaster GMT bezel??

I just picked this watch up tonight, and was in too much of a rush to play around with it in the store.

When I got it home, I noticed the bezel is very, very easy to turn. Is this normal with the GMT bezels? My friends Bond Seamaster has a tight bezel that's tough to turn.

I can literally turn this bezel with one finger.

Is there a simple way to tighten this bezel, or should I make the long trek back to the place where I bought it (3.5 hour drive)?

I also noticed that the date doesn't switch over until 6am when turning the hour hand to advance it.

Is this normal?

Am I being too paranoid here?

Called the store today, and they also felt this was unnaceptable. They are trying to source a new one for me, and are going to exchange it.

I'm not looking forward to the long drive to get the replacement, but I think it's worth it in the long run

Good thing you caught it in time. 7hrs of your life ain't bad compared to a busted luxury watch. RJ
