Opinions on this vintage Datejust 6305

[JohnnyS.]

I was hoping to get some input on this vintage 6305 Datejust:

It's rough, and needs some TLC, but it's what I've been looking for. Do you think the watch overall is a good candidate for a vintage restoration?

Nice looking watch. It's all a matter of what you get it for IMHO. The lugs don't look OVERLY polished. Although they have seen some polishing (Most likely a few door handles as well)*Update:* Just looked again, almost looks like I can see chamfered edges-or is it my screen?. The pictures look a little foggy but movement looks Ok.

The movement looks like A296 ?
I'm not sure about availability of parts for these, perhaps a watchmaker or expert will chime in.

Thank you for this info, Keeperoftime

I know we're not suppose to discuss prices here, but I was hoping to get a rough idea of the FMV for these 6305's. Completed auctions on ebay have not been helpful.
