Let's wait for one more examples from another TD. I think you're right but I'm not 100% sold yet. Lightning and white balance appears to have a large impact on the color of the markers

V2 on the right
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
This is not a criticism but an honest question. Was there a point in buying the V2 when u already have a V1? I have a V1 and I havent bought a V2 because as I see it the only thing that was wrong with V1 was the mismatching lume. The bezel screws are also slightly wrongly placed but for me this is not really noticeable in real life and therefore a non-issue.
The V2 changed the tapisserie pattern and more correctly placed the bezel screws but the lume issue has not been fixed. It also introduced another flaw in widening the first link gap. Seeing the V1 and V2 side by side I hardly think that V2 is an improvement over V1. What do you think? Having both versions do you think V2 is better than V1?
I ordered v2 because I liked the dial color more than v1, I love Ap 15202 but for me the v1 dial was a little disappointed and looked more grayish than blue, I’ll sell v1 and keep v2

Happen to know if the V1 bracelet fixes the gap if you put it on the V2? IMO, the gap is what hurts this watch the most - but I don't know if it's an issue with how they milled the screw hole on the case or if its an issue with the bracelet itself.

Indeed. Even at a casual glance at the side by side picture above you can see that the gap is larger on the V2. I know that some gens also have wide gaps but if I were to buy a gen and an AD offered me one with a wide gap I would reject it.
if you are looking for a moe genlike watch, there is no doubt at all that the watch on the left is a better try. (the one with date set at 17)

Visually all 3 are very different watches (well especially if you mod the 15202IP to have the correct finish) It won’t be a surprise even if he does.

Absolutely. No matter what anybody says about the color, it does stand out. Given that the chance of finding a gen in the wild is next to impossible, it would be a unique one to wear. Can't wait for mine to arrive sooner.

Also we need to complain more about this GAP so maybe lazy XF fix this issue instead of us customers trying to solve their issue. I think the reason they might have fixed the yellow lume was because of decrease in sales compared to first V2 batch. All we have to do is stop buying and address the obvious problems, it'd be impossible for a company not look for feedback when business is going down, surely they'll look around for an answer and find our concerns.
If the lume has been fixed to white again then my excitement is back as well. Once they fix the bracelet gap, it's an instant buy for me.
