Submariner 6538

I found this Submariner in a small pawn shop in Peru and wondering which model is it exactly. I think it's a 6538 4 lines gilt of 1956. My main doubt is about the crown graduation (0 from 15 is not graduated in minutes) and does not have the red triangle on the top.
Anyone can give me some orientation? I don't want to discuss the price with the owner before knowing exactly I am dealing with!
Thanks

More pictures would help. Need to see some shots of the lug profile from the side and the crown.
Not sure if it is the picture but the rehaut looks off, there are no bevels on the lugs and these old subs had big bevels. Could be they are gone from polishing but difficult to tell. These cases are really thin and have a good droop on the lugs so a side profile shot really helps.
Without more pics I cannot be of more help.
