I think you shouldn't use too much force anyway and have the watch checked again.
On my FF (also with the brushed red gold case) turning the bezel gives the impression of a robust, reliable mechanism. It feels like a well adjusted grid. You feel every click, and the bezel is not so easy to move, but can be moved very well. It feels just right!
Maybe for comparison: I also own the Rolex Deepsea James Cameron, where rotating the bezel feels a bit similar, although it is a little smoother with Rolex.
So, I would really have it checked that the bezel of your FF is so hard to turn. Even if it seems annoying now because you just got the watch back. Or you write to the manufacturer directly and ask what they say and recommend?
All the best

Mine was very difficult to maneuver when new. I just made it a habit to rotate it often and after a bit it loosened up. Beautiful Fifty btw!
I might try that

Although it is very difficult. Like gum is in the bezel mechanism

I think I am going to send it back in for Blancpain to take a look at. It felt perfect when I first got it back from service; however after a few weeks it's just stuck and feels like gum is in it.

The first serious dive watch. Not only for enthusiasts, even professionals must think first if they need a dive watch, BP FF is the one to wear. A bazel is very important and must be used, a tool that must work fine. BP boutique personal must take a compl...

Make sure crown screwed in. Dunk the watch in hot water then turn the bezel a few times to see if anything is under the bezel. It should free it up.
