I am really tempted to get this, but for the massive pizza handstack that puts ZF to shame.

Are you sure, we are talking about the same watch?
Yes, the cannon pinion is obviously thicker and therefore the base of the hour hand is too large, but all in all the handstack is imo far away from the "pizza base" of the ZF 15202 ...

Fair point. I still think the hand stack is noticably different but I've decided to still get one now.

I think there are a few fantasy ones?

Green, salmon, and ice blue exist. The one with red hand should be titanium. I don't know which ones from the gray/dark blues are close in color.

The tiffany blue is fantasy?

I guess that should be the UAE Edition (26613ST.OO.1220ST.01) which has a teal dial. If it is this version, it has many flaws of course beginning with the wrong colour of the week hand ;-)

It comes down to this : can you live with the flaws? Yes or no?

The flaws for this are so minor. The off center bezel ring? Meh - I think this is no issue. 36 instead of 38 jewels? I tend never to care what is on the back.

When it comes to comparing to gen this is a 500k+ watch. For like 600 bucks or 0.1% of the price these flaws are acceptable.

And in the rep game, there is never a promise of a v2. Yes BBR tends to release v2, but there is never a promise. If i like it, I buy it. And if a v2 releases? I'll pick one up too.

Wait… the bezel ring is off centered?

This is a miyota rearranged movement right?
