Looks legit, condition is not great (moldy lume, blisters on dial, worn case, oxidation on movement).

How's the price? I agree (with my limited knowledge) that it looks correct but not the best condition. Could be good if the price is right and the lume doesn't bother you.

The watch looks period correct, but, as others have stated it does not have an attractive dial. All depends on the price.
I have a 6105-8000 which also has the symmetrical cushioned case from 1968.

I'm no expert on that model, but I don't think I've seen that crown before. Don't they usually say "LOCK" instead?

Do you know the service history? I think that's high for condition, especially if it also needs any work.

I would think the price would be below $1k given the condition.

This is the same watch that sold recently on ebay for 1k. Looks like they just covered up some of the mold on the minute hand:
