 My monster bezels are very smooth in operation pauliedoggs...rather than compressed air, I would try submerging/soaking in warm tap water (crown screwd down of course), and give the bezel a number of turns too to see if you can free up any debris that may have collected in there.

I have a Seiko Sumo that has a really stiff bezel (came that way to me as I'm not the original owner)...if I soak that one in water, it frees up nicely but only while it remains wet...once it dries completely, the bezel goes back to running overly stiff.

I would be interested to hear what other 3T WIS say about lubricating the bezel...I've thought about that, but I'm not sure that is a good idea.  I'm sure some lubricants would be a much better choice than others.
