Panerai dial variation "L Swiss L" and "L Swiss Made L"

Just notice something interesting and hope some expert can shed some light in this.

On my 119 the original dial is marked as "L Swiss L". Watch was from 2005.

Last year I've send it back for service and requested dial to be changed (corner of the dial was chipped). When I got it back the dial now says "L Swiss Made L"

I thought Panerai would have kept some spare NOS dials for servicing.

Wonder what is the difference.

L Swiss L was how the dials read for a few years in early 2000's. They now read Swiss "made". No real difference other than that

I believe the L at each end stands for Luminova.

Changed after 2005 as my logo has the old sig and changed with the H model.

Probably didn't see a reason to save the old version for later repairs and they probably don't see any difference.

On my model. Only 500 made and a number PVD'ed the cases, so old dial adds something

I wouldn't worry about it, but you can always ask on your next service
