yes, apparently he had the watch repaired within 24 hours:

A few days later, he dropped off his GMT-C with the New York RSC who indicated "they have seen situations like this before, but that it is uncommon." Rolex indicated that the bezel insert is a press fit and held by the beveled edges of the bezel ring. g340 indicated that his visit to the RSC in New York was a "good experience." The watch was repaired in 24 hours and mailed back to him.
