The bezel on the photo from RPR looks like the Morellis finish found on a 1611 but the bracelet isn't right and looks like a bark finish Jubilee.

The correct Morellis finish bracelet has a pock-marked pattern on the center links as if someone has tapped the surface with sharp point. There is a good photo of one with a blue dial on jeroenvink's Netherlands site (title is "Yellow Gold Rolex Datejust ref. 1611 from 1968").

I posted another photo of a Tiffany dialled one but I think it is held up for review by the moderators.
