I got my QC pics but rejected the watch (12 o'clock markers looked crooked to me). Per rules, will not post pics 
A few observations:
A few observations:
- Color of dial is questionable. It has got shades of yellow, honey, orange - pick your colors Some of it may be because of harsh lighting used by TDs to take QC pics.
- Just like blue dial, the hour marker lume is green while hands are white.

Dude, you already rejected it, you can post it to inform us
Yeah - please post if you can be bothered. In this context it's not really a violation of the rules I don't think.
the dial just seems yellow to me. i'm not getting any other color pick up from it. with that being said...i think that was always going to be the problem with this dial.
i can't say i see any crooked markers.
and yes the lume on the hands is just too noticeable. i guess i'll move my purchase to a skydweller or ARF datejust or something. when i hit a lot of my watches with a lume charge you can see the hands glow blue at first or differently than the markers. its main towards my APs and Pateks that are like that. only on lume charge.

Looks like XF might be putting the IP dial out soon too. Trustytime put the placeholder pre-order for it. Kobe's talked about that dial previously. I wonder if they've sent Kobe any promo pics too.

Here are the two dial variants (and gen below it) that Kobe published earlier in the thread. I am looking forward to this release as well.

yeah its like breitling yellow...the color shift doesn't exist.
more of a flat dial of straight yellow. so I have changed my order. sad really.
tired of black dials and blue and white. i liked this particular one because its different.
and while i never thought the dial was salmon or pink....hints of salmon and honey and like a main base of a yellow hue.
to me the dial was this honey hue....i think the DW is the correct color...but thats about it. and if the bracelet still has the
issue. i think this definitely has potential....we need dial updated with font, i don't see them fixing the lume...seems to be a looming issue.
correct the sunken DW (minor issue). just dial color and printing. and bracelet fix and this can be great. and i understand that these
really aren't in the wild so dial color is going to be difficult. i just need something color. i think it lies the sunburst and having some of
these missing multiple hues. hell 99% won't see a real one in the wild. but i think we can agree the color is not correct.

I wouldnt care about inaccuracy of the dial color if it just looked good regardless, but i think most of us can agree that a lemon-yellow dial is not what we'd consider good looking. The QC situation is very strange, cause Trusty's natural daylight photos earlier in the thread looked great. Hopefully you guys get your watches soon and confirm the true color for the rest of us that are still on the fence.

Just received today - more fodder for discussion.
Tried to picture in a few different types of light.
Of note - the 15202 doesn’t have a seconds hand! My powers of perception are lacking.

The colour of the dial seems to be more acceptable under natural light. But slightly darker would have been better.
Gen for comparison:
