Another S serial number to add -225888

This one is from the same batch as mine and Paolo's. In fact, the serial number is only 12 after my CHN. Seems to be more evidence that some of the watches are only assembled some considerable time after the cases are made - Paolo's is probably made not long after its case, with the 3-6-9-12 register, whereas this and mine have the 1-12 numbering revision that appeared during 1971 (what I often call the 1972 model year dial revisions).

Not sure from the photo, but the tachy scale looks champagne - don't think that would have been original.
