Not sure what the WR level is on those even though I did own one, but have you tried the usual soft toothbrush and washing up liquid with warm water. Could just be a build up of human DNA. Put a bit of silicone on when dry and see if that helps.
I'm looking for a bit of advice. I was one of the lucky purchasers of Eddie's CAF homage PRS - 9 back in 2014. I'm very fond of it and wear it regularly. Whilst wearing it I used to rotate the bezel in an attempt to keep it moving freely. Unfortunately this didn't really work, and I noticed over the last year that it was getting stiffer and stiffer to rotate. It has now seized up completely. Does anyone have any suggestions for ways of releasing or freeing it up it without dismantling the case?
Many thanks for reading this and in anticipation of some assistance/advice.

A drop of WD40 allowed to soak in for a few minutes should loosen up the seized bezel.

I'm sure it is indeed a build up of DNA and perhaps slight perishing of the seal. It employs a friction system rather than spring click so won't take much to make it seize up.
Yes the WR is 30M, obviously fine when new, but I'm not sure I would trust it after 8 years or so.
This sounds like the safest route. I'll try this Ralphy.
Many thanks to all 3 of you for taking the trouble to read this and give me the benefit of your thoughts and advice.

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Tbh, it might be an indicator that it needs a proper service.
