Is anyone aware if the blue face will be released with the V2 updates as well?

There is no announcement, and I don't expect one to be made. Simply because we are talking about two totally different movements. The PAM382 is using a P.9000 with the balance wheel @7. The PAM671 is using a P.9010 with the balance wheel @11. The P.9000 movement has a true superclone, a new movement which looks and functions like the gen P.9000. The P.9010 does not, it is merely an A7750 with decorative plates to make it look like a P.9010. We can hope, but these two are unrelated.

Will the blue face fit in the V2 case?

Why would someone do that? The cases are different. Different watches :facepalm:

GTgamo probably forgot that the PAM382 is using the P.9000 and the PAM671 is using the P.9010. Different movements using different cases with different dimensions (mainly thickness).

Now technically speaking, the PAM671 dial might as well fit the PAM382 case using the P.9000 V2, but it would result in an inaccurate watch. The thickness is wrong and the lugs are fat (instead of the thin and longer ones used by the PAM671) and the movement is visibly wrong with not only the placement of the balance wheel @7 instead of @11 on the P.9010 but the wrong movement decoration as well.

The reason lies in preference - i.e. why did some whacked out musician paint a glorious Lambo pink??

Well you may prefer it but there is no guarantee that it will fit (even the same model, there is no guarantee since we are talking about reps here). But it's up to you if you want to risk it. At the end of the day, it's your money. Plus unless you're Nicki Minaj, I don't think a pink Lambo will suit you (that's the only musician with a pink Lambo I could find, one was a grandma and another was an artist). :lol:

Great news
With the movement corrections this watch should be now nominated for super rep
If they indeed used real CuSn8 bronze that will be amazing
Current ones get patina in 3 -4 days which is not the case with the gen ones that get patina much much slower

Can anybody interpret the last comment on the marker? First comment is on the independent hour adjust and the other functions as per gen. The second comment is on the date, where it cannot be adjusted quickly but will move with the time adjust (as far as I can tell). The third comment has me stumped as I'm not sure what's 1:1 about the new markers.
Marker is whiter now which is closer to gen. Previous version was same color as luminova markers and was wrong. If you Google and see pics of the gen 382 the marker has to be pure white.

They should also correct the position of this marker. I owned this watch and also saw many pics of vsf Pam382 and at most of them it is not placed exactly at 12 o'clock but a bit to the right

It is confirmed from the factory that this new version is real CuSn8 bronze same as original and different than previous versions. I have to tell you that I own a few CuSn8 buckles and they get patina much much slower than previous 382 and 671 versions. For me these are the best news for the new version

Also a quick comparison of bezel pearls. First pic is previous VSF version, middle pic is gen, third pic is this new VSF version. Notice that gen and latest versions have both a white similar pearl.
