Mine arrived today! Hope to add gen xtal and gen insert and maybe crown, but is near perfect also out of the box.
I have only one problem: slight pain on wrist at the clasp. The central pin hurts me.

Also mine is a little bit stiff and I'm trying to rotate it many times at day to see if improves. But don't bother me much because I'm want to install a gen insert and removing it I will see...

I had the same problem with mine. Solution: gently lift off the bezel with a case knife and make sure to cover the lugs and the blade with tape so you don't scratch the lugs. Once removed I cleaned my assembly with some alc. since it was a little dirty. Everything cleaned inserted my gen insert and put it back on. Now turns very nicely and absolutely perfect. Just make sure you don't lose the little metal wire that makes sure the bezel clicks.
Hope it helps.

Probably I'll do this in the week to change the insert.
Just one question: after cleaning the assembly should be good to lubricate the mechanism? If yes, which lubricant to use?
Although many people use a case knife to remove the bezel it's actually incorrect and possible to bend the bezel or do other damage. It would be a shame to damage the extreme bezel, isn't it $200 to replace?
Your bezel diesnt look that tight. You are turning it with two indices while holding the watch in the same hand. I would definitely have a hard time doing that with my gen omega smp

I've taken the bezel off my Extreme a couple of times using a credit card against one of the lugs. Mine comes off fairly easy that way but even if it does work you still need to tape the lug.
Anyway yes mine did definitely have a short break in period over maybe the first 20 or 30 turns it loosened up to how it is now (somehow breaking the click spring in the process but TC was kind enough to send me a couple of spares)
I wouldn't lubricate the bezel at all as it's only going to help it gather dirt, just make sure it's as clean as possible.

Hi guys , I consulted TC himself about this , because I had the same problem with my TC Sub V6
and this he said "...For the bezel turning. Please apply downward force with 3 fingers evenly to release the brake then rotate. "
That was regarding the pa V1 bezel . You can read about it in his blog post. The point of the pa v2 was to correct the break in period. Anyways from what I see on that video there's nothing I would be worried about

This is very sharp without the cyclops! And the Negative Datewheel, The red hand is always in debate in my mind
Ok, I found a quick and dirty picture on my phone. Because as everyone knows, "pics or it doesn't exist".
