A ton of details are wrong for this release, correcting the datewheel color alone won’t improve it meaningfullySeems like the quick release strap was corrected but the date wheel color is still off
Looks like a V2 is already out!

and they added a functional quick removal for the strap... and in addition: V2 is cheaper 
It's still much to expensive. The difference between the domestic and the international price is quite high on the newer 42mm and 44mm ROOs. I dont know whyand they added a functional quick removal for the strap... and in addition: V2 is cheaper
Not too concerned about price, but this one is much better. I wish that got the subdial at 12 correct.

Running seconds subdial position (and subdial indicators) are also still incorrect.
I would not pay attention to the $30 difference. It is common that the final published prices are adjusted according to market conditions.
As for the 3126 or 4404 caliber names, they are meaningless, both are based on the A7750 sec@12 movement, maybe decorated differently when viewed from the caseback, I am not sure.
For the V2, the subdial positions are still wrong, and the running seconds position is wrong as well (should be a seconds@6). Theoretically, if the natural sec@9 A7750 movement can be modified to a sec@12, then it can also be modified to a sec@6. No biggie. They will just need to get the dial spacing correct and also the datefont, and it will be a passable 26238 rep for me as far as replica APs go.

Much of an improvement for a still very nice fantasy piece. What's going to be an issue still is APF factory the plots are terrible and will have aspace on the strap in the front on both sides of the watch. One can tell by simply looking at the caseback space on the plots where it meets the case. The stock photos on all websites avoid showing the photo from the front and only show it when the rubber is pressed out so it looks like the plots are ok, but they are not. If you compare JJF plots on caseback to APF, you can see this easily.
You’re right about the detail you mentioned.
However I don’t think the plots are major tells compared to what is already wrong with the rest of the watch. I think them not showing the caseback has more to do with the wrong movement and deco rather than anything to do with the plots. This is my guess and there’s nothing empirical about my statements.
My point is that in the sea of tells for this watch (even the dial and straps colors are off wrong), the plots aren’t a major concern on this model. Anyone who will already buy this watch given how so many significant details are off, will not be stopped by the inaccuracies of the plots, true as your observation may be regarding them.

True, no one will notice this except someone like me that it will drive me crazy personally. Lol
Yes I get that. We all notice and care about different details on a watch. For me it was is the instant date change, a feature I have cared about for a long time in reps and until recently, nobody else seemed to take notice of except me.
