Lovely sub and great photography. Which year is the sub from? What camera and setings did you use?

Thanks C!
Caseback is marked III.71 and I think the serial correponds to a late '71 to early '72
The camera is just an old Canon 40D SLR fitted with a Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM and speedlite flash, just factory macro settings

Excellent dial and hands. I noticed the hands are really sweet, they are aging just right.
