Advice please! Buying a used Explorer 1

Dear all.

I'm about to buy a used Rolex Explorer 1 from the year 2000. It comes with box, guarantee papers but no manual (I think originally bbought in Japan judging from the photos). It's from a very reputable dealer which I have bought from below, but assuming it is sold as seen (in the pictureI attached), would any of you have any suspicions / issues ?

Thank you so much in advance

Jb

Looks like you are buying a box without a watch.

That looks like a standard pre-warranty card Japanese guarantee paper, but I can't see the fine print.
