I am quite sure this is the new dial

No idea where that picture comes from.
Anyway...there is some improvement but it is not enough. Look at the number 7.

The pic from another seller but not in RWI. That's why I erased their logo on right side of the pic.
I think the IWC logo is improved but I do not know what difference the number 7 has.. (I am not an IWC expert sorry)
Just compare a picture of gen dial to the picture you shared here and it will look obvious the different position of the number 7. Easier to see than to explain.
Despite all of its flaws (lack of sunburst, wrong dial marking placement, wrong lug shape, left datewheel alignment), the overall watch is pretty nice looking. I'm not sure whether a V2 will be made based on the popularity of this watch but I think I might get it anyway. I don't want to miss out on a blue dial IWC like I did with the Noob Vintage Ingy.

I carefully compared it to gen dial then found the number 7 position was different.
I think sunburst on the dial also not that good..

I agree with you that the watch is very nice looking. However, the watch shows some obvious flaws that we can see
I know the price of this watch is much cheaper than gen so I do not expect the watch will be same as gen Hope V2 gets better than V1..The watch is pretty indeed but the rep has too many flaws even for 300 usd.
Let's see if there will be significant improvement in the final version, I am not so confident but I will be touching wood for the next couple of weeks

I do hope there'll be a V2 of this. And I hope better factories like V6 or JF decides to make them. I have very low confidence with this MK factory. Have you seen the bracelet version though? The bracelet looks very well made.

I think reps has come a long way in terms of quality and accuracy coming from the recent JF's AP ROO and KW's PAM. Beside Noob which used to be "the" rep factory of choice, all other factories has come short.
I have just seen the IWC mark XVII le petit prince in the website of PureTime. It's on sale. Click here.
Looks like the final edition has the same flaws as the prototype. And I think that 328 usd is too expensive.

There were 2 makers from Puretime that already list from SWF which movement has not any engrave on that but Intime was from MK the movement is gold with engrave on that.
Which maker is better? I think to wait from MK to see what will happen.

It seems at least they have corrected the dial. Not sure which maker this is from. Now we only need to see the sunburst.
