After much deliberation I ordered the carbon NTPT with grey nylon strap from Steve at theonewatches;

Angle of the two downward to the left plate ribs at the balance is incorrect, but I see why it was done that way.
They couldn't place the larger balance wheel in the same position, and maintaining the same angle would look worse.
On the BBR 055 it looks odd, but on this one it's not as bad, over time I hope to unsee the discrepancy.
I'm assuming BBR and Sonic are the same factory, both also use mask painting of the ribs instead of original grinding like ZF does.
It's less sharp looking but probably ok at normal viewing distance, and also allows them to put a unique serial number on each without having to engrave.
Was thinking of putting the ZF V3+ movement in the T+ case to get an acceptable automatic, but perhaps too much work, and V4 seems to be unavailable.
The more I saw of the T+ the less I liked it, with the movement's housing sticking out from around the plate at 7 and 12, jewels mistakenly spelled juwels, lettering too small, missing hole in one of the three lobes to the left of the keyless works, and wavy thin gauge screwed on decorations.
