This weekend's nightmare horror story finally had a happy ending. This is a brand new TC V7X LV that was made in July 2017. It has never been worn, nor sized.
I purchased it, and then good ole USPS lost it. Their system showed it in two different locations, at the same time. I discovered this on Saturday 4 minutes before they closed. At 8:30 this morning, I was the first in line at the USPS. They said it was in another part of the city with a different zip.
I told them their website showed it being in the current zip. They searched and couldn't find it, couldn't track it, and said it must be lost.
They supposedly even checked the RTS bin (Return to Sender)
I asked for a Supervisor, and he was able to "find" it.
Talk about a nervous weekend! I thought this Gem was lost for good. Or on someone at the post offices wrist! I'm going to keep it New and Unworn, and save it for later. It's going to be a box queen (at least for now)
Here she is with her "Friends"

The rehaut looks very shallow??

My Gen
I owned a few TC Subs. Problem with TC Sub is that the rehaut is shallow and the diameter is too wide. Resulting in a very "flat" face of the watch. Even when you upgrade with a gen dial hands and crystal. Gen "window" is a bit narrow at the bottom (dial) and gets wider at the top. The rehaut on the gen (where ROLEXROLEX is written) has a very beautiful angle/curve starting from narrow to wide. TC rehaut is without an angle and just straight up. Like a straight wall. And often too low.
Look where ROLEXROLEX is written. The gen has this kind of curve. You may think it's just a detail, but it changes the look of the face dramatically. When I compared my TC to my Gen it was very well visible.
Look at the pics from Spinman a bit up. You'll see what I mean.
