This watch was sent to me via a M2M sale. No need to point anyone out because I believe he/she did not send it this way knowingly or on purpose. May have been loosened on shipping, but I noticed it when I was setting the time from out of the shipping box. At first the bezel did not turn easily so I gave it a bit more and it loosened, then came off.
Id like to try and fix this myself if possible. Dont have much experience in watchmaking, but do have the general tools. Please see video. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Your hytrel bezel gasket is probably bent / broken. Unfortunately I can't really tell from the video, can you post a picture of the gasket? It's the white ring in the bezel, you should be able to pull it out, but do it gently as to not further damage it.

If it's a small issue, you might be able to fix it, otherwise you will need to replace the gasket. I had big troubles sourcing one for a 126610, but for older models, they're available everywhere and they're pretty cheap. Alternatively you can try using fish line, but if you use one too thick, you can get the bezel stuck on there.
