Help with Explorer 1016 verification

Hello everyone. I've been searching for a 1016 to purchase and came across this one. I was hoping some of the wiser folks on the Forum could help me verify its authenticity. The seller says its from 1963. Thanks!

It looks good to me.
Is it stamped 1016 between the lugs (bracelet removal required to see)?
have you got any photos of the movement?

Beautiful gilt chapter ring exclamation dial as well, one of the more desirable 1016's. Looks like a good example.

It's a great example. If you pass, could you send me the details? Good luck!

Thanks for your inputs Lol-x. Yes, 1016 is stamped between the lugs. No photos of the movement unfortunately.
