Rolex 1016

So I have been on the hunt for a nice Explorer 1016. I saw this on a dealers website,and fairly priced. Would be curious to get some of the members opinions on these few pics. Thanks for your support.

I’d want to see better photos of the dial/hands and a UV photo, and photos of the movement, reference and serial numbers.

However at first glance, it looks like nice matching patina on the dial/hands, and an over-polished case.

Rivet bracelets are cool. Does the clasp date stamp match the age of the watch?

Unless my eyes deceive me, the patina on the hands appear darker than that on the dial.

If it helps any, here is what just crossed the block at Sothebys for less than $14K -



But if I was looking to buy, the dealer would need to send me much better pictures - sharper and close-up - inside and out.
