The original seems perfectly aesthetically designed to my eyes.

The generation 2 seems to miss the mark a bit.
--a bit too much empty dial space
--should have kept the roman numerals at X and II or should have extended the hour markers somewhat
--should have extended the "Datograph Flyback" text relative to the date windows, as in the original
--I miss the 5-minute numbers around the dial perimeter: makes the Datograph a more technical looking piece
--and finally, should have increased the lug width by 1-2mm. This is a big complaint that IMO would have made a huge difference. The Gen 2 dato looks "plump" compared to the Gen 1. The Gen 1's overall diameter is perfect for 20mm lugs, but Gen 2 looks a bit too big relative to lug placement/width.
Cheers,
