The trick is sourcing the dial. This one is a Raffles dial. The case is gen spec at 27.3mm so the Raffles 29mm had to be shaved down.

What about starting with a 114060 and getting a ceramic LV? I know it is not the same but might be an easier path?

There are a few ceramic Kermits around. I much prefer the look of 5 digit subs to 6 digit ceramics in terms of case height, lugs and CGs. They are just neater watches. I agree the other path would be easier but I have a very good watchmaker who can preform horological miracles (lol machining).
