Explorer II - 16570 Questions

Hi Guys, im seriously thinking about buying this watch from a well known HK dealer (not sure if i can post the name of him here?) as my first rolex. From what I have researched about the seller he seems 100% legit..but I just wanted to post a couple of pictures for the experts to look at if possible, its an A series from 1999 with the 3185 movement. Any feedback welcomed, Cheers,Alex.

You can post the dealer's name if you want to. Looks like Alex Pig.

Your right oldexpatbeast the dealer is Alex Chu! he has been great to deal with so far I must say, movement shot attached,everything else like bracelet/endlink numbers seem good, the '99 A series serial number with 'Swiss" dial from my research make sense also, im going to the bank tomorrow so just double/triple checking as much as I can!
