ROLEX EXPLORER 1016

I have been offered a Rolex Explorer 1016 and the condition is good. Serial is 1.3m and year model is 1966. Movement is very clean and watch keeps accurate time. The only fault is the dial has been refinished. The nice part is the selling price is only $3k. Should I buy it and wait for a good used dial to be available in the market to replace the refinished dial?

Thanks for the advise. Will just look for a better example of the 1016.

you just have to have the means, the will and the know how as to how to deal with such a piece. but it doesn't look quite right on the poor pictures offered, which is a common denominator on the watches brought forward by the OP: Bad pictures of possibly ok, possibly bad examples. Hence the general advice. But the bezel s definitely not right, and who knows about the rest which is not seen. notice also the dial lume versus the hands. It just seems desperate to seek examples of great watches that are not quite right, rather than just buying the right examples (which for every model bought forward exist) sometimes we save money only to either have the wrong thing, or have to spend more to get it right.
