Dial looks correct for 1967 - frog foot dial , hands look correct but obviously the hour hand is an issue - could lose the lume very soon. Case looks a little thin around the lugs, I'd want better pics of these with the bracelet removed. I can't comment on the papers. Price is on the high side but this will be the premium for having papers I expect.

Shame about the hour hand cracked lume.
Otherwise not to bad subject to price which I believe is high.
It will have a non jacking movement.

I prefer the frog dial. Always prefer US but did find a one at exoticwatches.net which seems to have a good rep: http://www.chrono24.com/rolex/1967-r...-id6556777.htm
