Supposidely 3KF is releasing a new batch of 5167/5168 with the 324 next week or so? Hopefully we can get some updated pics with the new dial from another source to see if it's any better. I've reached out to a few TD's to see if they can get pics before placing an order.

Lets wait for the TD pictures and see if the logo-centering is indeed wrong. Perhaps this is just some pre-release error on a prototype.

What prototype? this is the real watch pictured by a reseller.

I haven’t seen it released to any TD yet. WeChat resellers often get them much earlier.
Prototype is maybe the wrong word to use. But often the watch you get is different than the one released for pictures to TDs.
An example of this can be the ‘ARP’ error on the 5726, which was correct shortly after.

the one in picture was sold to some actual buyer. This is not advertisement photo taken as example.
Well. you can wait and see.

Then we must hope they update the batch quickly. It’s just a printing adjustment needed. Like it was in the 5726 “ARP” flaw they corrected to “APR” a few weeks after the release. Let’s see what happens.

Logo is much better positioned and Luke is matching, pretty good if not for the datewheel

Hi guys !
On this screen there are 2 improvements: this dial is very similar to the Gen . We just need to change the date font and it will be very acceptable and I 'll even say beautiful!
After that, it will be necessary to make a good work on the case, with different type of polishing to get closer to the Gen !

i love this watch, I sold my 5168G Gen to buy another model 3 months ago and I already regret it!

I'm not sure what is "V3" here - the date is still not centered and the dial still has the groove extending far below the 5.

I am fine with the groove as u need a close look but the date... from a distance u can see it is leading towards the left. :D

Just saw this QC pop up (it was GL'ed). First of the new 3KF stock "V2" i've seen from any TD's. PP print looks pretty thick or is that just me?

DW alightment looks pretty good. Hand lume is a little whiter than dial but much better than before. What do you guys think?
