I know much more about Omega’s (big surprise, that is what brought me to this forum) - but I wanted to get a second opinion on a nice vintage Rolex.

It’s for sale for approx $6500. Is this overpriced for this model and condition? Any advice would be much appreciated

Not an expert on Rolex, but better photos would be needed to assess the watch accurately. It appears to have possibly been over-polished.

Ah, yes. The exceptionally rare T T no-lume dial.
I'd go find something else.

And one would not see tritium in the 50s anyway, assuming the OP's information on timing is correct.

As an aside, this is actually an odd, but known variant for 1970s DateJusts, with lumed hands and a T SWISS T dial without lume. They are called "no-lume dials". Here is one example.
