Has a transitional SWISS LN dial actually existed in 5513? or you've been playing with 14060 dial?

it does exist as a gen service dial (hence the lume and the "SWISS" word at 6 o'clock)

so in my picture, it's not a 14060 dial; it's a gen 5513 service dial (with TC sub hands + temporary Helenarou seconds hand)

Here's my latest baby... Full on Franken with Ivan-Tulip-dial. Phong/dbane883-case. Gen mvmt. Gen hands. Gen mk II-insert. Vietnam-7206.

Is that dBane's "last" build from RWG, with the ghost bezel swapped out for a darker Long 5? There can't be two Voldemort Tulips floating around, can there?

Only thing in common is dial, hands and mvmt. The rest is new. So both yes and no.
