Help with watch ID and value

Hi

I am circling around this "roulette" Datejust. The original owner bought it in 1957. Box but no papers. He owns the jewelry store where it is being sold.

Can't see anything wrong with it.

Can't actually see it at all.

Thank you

I'm glad I researched that watch. I found it while on a trip and it was tempting, at first, partly because I had never seen a 6503 (manufactured, I think, for only three years in the mid 1950s. But the dial looked too "new"; unlike any other examples of which I could find photos online, it said "Swiss Made"; and "Datejust" was black, instead of red. Nonetheless, I needed some confirmation to get it off my mind. Thank you.
