Rolex 1962 Submariner Ref: 5512

I have a 1962 Rolex Submariner Ref: 5512 that has been in my family and I'm looking to get it inspected and what to look for to get it valued/inspected etc. I'm in CT so I'd be looking for a place in state or a surrounding one.

It doesn't appear that watch is from 1962. Post a few better pictures and post all but the last 3 digits of the serial number (like this: 521,XXX).

I have an imgur album with better pictures but can't post due to being a new account. I can PM it to one of you if that works.

Welcome to the forum. Don’t really need pictures to give you names of places to have it evaluated.

Of course, there is the RSC on 5th Av in the city.

I think it's just that picture, I took some better photos but the size/resolution is too large to post.

I also think it's a service dial. Here's 1963 5512 for comparison.
