Taps look to be better spaced, as per gen. Printing also looks a lot better.

Date wheel looks too dark, though -- should match the dial. Wonder if they put a black one on this? Also, they still apparently can't make the batons straight ... drives me nuts.

You mean the hour markers alignment?

not sure if i can follow
it's just how the industry works. these pieces are not built one by one and hand finished like the gens. The dials are made in huge batches say 1000 for example, even if they are flawed they have to be sold off before factory either makes it better or keep making more. They will know the part is flawed but still sell it until they are done and then make changes, so in a way, the best way to get a V2 is to buy off V1 haha weird I know.

Here is a gen someone posted on another thread. The color and the tap pattern can be compared. Seems like the DW is wrong should be blue. Jf looks drak blue or black.

With no sign of the new nautilus it looks as though my itchy trigger finger will be pulled on this!

When's the updated white dial coming? @puretime

Looks like the date wheel is wrong color on the rep....It should match the dial color.

The top picture I posted is directly from the AP website today. Where are you seeing one with a white date wheel?

believe it or not AP has outdated pics on their website sometimes. There is a new white date wheel on the new gens with blue dial.
