Posting with permission the first user image of the new pad printed Model F keys! I like the F122 with its custom printed keys inside the transparent relegendable keys. The user says there's no wear so far.

Brand New Model F and Beam Spring Keyboards: the new draft keyboard label design has been completed! While the current keyboard label was based on the IBM 4704 keyboards, the new one is based on the 1984-1986 IBM Model F and Model M labels. geekhack.org/index.php?topic…
After nearly six years of R&D and tooling work, pad printed white text on black keys for the Model M and Model F are finally available to order! They came out great. Well worth the years of effort.
With permission I am posting an interesting photo:
