Hi and welcome.

I'm a bit out of my league here, padi and some of the experts can give you a lot more information I'm sure.
I believe that's a correct movement for a 6552. Does it look like this?

It's my understanding these were made for the Canadian market. The 1030 movement is capable of outstanding accuracy, however Rolex in the USA won't service these movements (don't know about Canada). My guess is there should be independents that would be able to service if it becomes necessary.

yes mister there exactly this model ,colors dial .. the only difference is with double ref inside the case say 6565 and 6552 and the cal 1030 so maybe you right is for the canadian market thanks .

Well both the 6565 and the 6552 date from the early 50s with the cal 1030, and quite common at these times to see double ref on inside case backs
