Still looks like a V1 to me for all the reasons mentioned by Tobel and myself above.
If you are led to believe that this is a V2 dial by your TD, I would take it with a grain of salt. Think about it, TDs have to deal with hundreds of different models of watches at any given time. While, I'm sure some TDs make an effort to keep tabs on developments in the industry, they cannot be expected to know the intricate details of every watch they sell. I reckon they just relay to us what the factories tell them. And as those of us who are experienced in this game know factories are not always 100% honest about what they do. ie- sometimes they just want to dump old stock. eg- Noob and their ever-changing Daytona sub-dial thickness.
We as consumers on the other hand, pick and choose a handful of watches we find appealing and study every aspect of it.

The dial still has the incorrect yellow markers not white like gen.
When will they fix this simple but important mistake?
Forget everything else. You can see from an arms length that the color of the dial markers don’t match the color of the hands.

This is a flaw that can be fixed by sending it to a modder, so not that bad.

I mean you're a bit over the top. Even if it is a tell, it's a very small one. Quite a number of watches have different lume colours on their hands to markers, to make it clearer what the time is at a glance. Unless you're quite the expert in APs you're never going to know that on this watch they're supposed to be identical.
It's annoying yes, but it's probably more of an annoyance to you (us, as rep enthusiasts) than it is a tell to anyone else...
I suppose, it's annoying if you want to post it on Instagram and pretend you have the gen... but otherwise I really don't see it being prohibitive.

Thank you.
I already own a 15202 V1 and asked the TD for the new dial, putting them next to me seemed slightly different

Defo a v1, they are taking pictures with flashlight so the markers looks like to be white.

I think so too. You can compare the "correct" white color in the AP-logo above the 6-marker. Then you see clearer that markers are slightly green (if that is of concern).
That's a normal move anyway, I remember when I've ordered my 15400 jf v4, TDs tried to feed me the refused v3 from previous customers.

Some other TD's may be more open to the idea, especially if you order a watch from them at the same time. Just a thought
