Rolex explorer 1016 1967

Hello folks!

Just curious about this explorer. I know thing or two about rolexes but not enough to be an expert and definitely do not know much about vintages.
This is supposed to be 1967 model 1016.

Beautiful patina and the hour lumes are crisp. The problem is that there are so many good fakes coming out that I can trust my own eyes !!

Be safe.

It is certainly not all original. That band is probably not the same band that shipped with the watch, even if that band is genuine Rolex.

Also, the numbers appear to be repainted. Perhaps not... I yield final judgement to the experts.
