Hi there,
SO, Super Citric Fly’s in and Saves the DAY… NICE one 
Working Good Here.!
Here is my successful code demo and it works for both the C3 or C6 without edit.
I loaded some older code too and it worked without using the older TFT_eSPI lib, ver 2.5.23
Very Good!
I have not tested it in conjunction with WiFi or BLE I’ll try that next.
" this is a gauge demo with a Pointer value in the center (after the scrolling text)"
Compiler output and Serial output bellow. 
New ROLex…
Gauge Demo
//This will make the meter visually alert you when the reading crosses 45, with both the gauge and the displayed number turning red.
