I received yesterday my ploprof v2 from Toro.
It's normal that the bezel (obviously having press the orange button) is almost impossible to turn? Anyone has the same problem? What I have to do? It's possible to make it function normally or I have to send it back?
Thanks

mine was like tha too....kenny made it better, but in the end, I think the button you have to press to turn it, is soo "unsmooth" that that itself is a problem in my little sad world... :(

Has anyone ever taken the bezel off before? I could use some pointers if so :D

Mine is the same. I tried to pop off the bezel but was unsuccessful.

Thanks . I want to ear by a watchsmith if it's possible to make the bezel work more easily.
I can't understand why a watch otherwise so well made (the extension of the clasp for example) have this fault that seems to me not so difficult to replicate.

Guys the last time I tried the gen bezel function it was a pain in the ass to turn too. It may not have been as hard as the rep but trust me it's pretty rough too...

I've got a V2 also but mine is the complete opposite, it's super easy to spin plus you don't need to press the button. Kinda strange how they're all so different.

Never heard of or owned a V2 that wasn't a challenge to operate the bezel. With that said, a 1.5 is a great choice if adjusting the bezel is something you do regularly. You can always tell yourself that you took it to your watchsmith to have the lock mechanism adjusted for you. :)

In V2, the locking mechanism (orange button) work. V1 or v1.5 is faux

yes the bezel is quite hard to turnm, if you look at gen videos in youtube,
it seems that it is very easy to turn eitherways clockwise, anti-clockwise, maybe a dry lube might help? I got a V2 too, bought it from RG from a member on mesh
hey any of you got a orange or black strap for sale?
