Thanks ewand.
I will try to get the case serial number.
What made me think is that the OTD Master Reference Table lists 69, 70/71 and 72 catalogue dates for this combo. So was it manufactured and sold along with later executions? Well, as you said, back then not much was impossible. Especially considering the problems with early cal 11.
