Here's the update.
I think I've given TC enough time to get back in touch with me in regards to my issues. Especially considering that I know for a fact that he has been in contact with other members here during these past few days. After much thought, I really question what is going on with TC's operations lately. He may have put out pristine samples in the past but now I don't know. Hopefully I have an isolated case. While it's not for me to say anything about it, I think the wiki on RWI acronyms should be updated. After my initial posting, it has become very clear to me that TC is not a low volume dealer/maker.
I am very disappointed with how this transaction has taken place and the lack of action on TC's end after he received my money and delivered the goods. The least he could have done is acknowledge that he received my emails and will get back to me, but that has not been the case at all..
Good luck to those that have recently ordered a TC Sub.
Hopefully yours does not come with a badly gouged bracelet, obviously messy lums, and a dirty crystal that could have be cleaned/wiped before sending to me...
I will post pics later today to show that I am not making this up.
Thanks everyone
