Icon17 Vintage SS Air King 5500 Jubilee Authenticity Request

Hey folks,

I just picked up this vintage 5500 Air King and I wanted your thoughts on authenticity. A jeweler briefly looked at it and they adjusted the clasp and helped me set the time and the hacking feature was present when we pulled the screw down crown all the way out. He said it is a nice watch but I wanted some other opinions. This is my first Rolex. It seems to beat about 5-6 times per second when I look really closely at the second hand ticking. It is very quiet. The stainless steel jubilee bracelet has 555 stamped on the inside.

I apologize for the image quality. Some of them uploaded where they appear upside down. The bracelet has the following etchings:

REGISTERED SWISS MADE on the left of the logo. The coronet in the logo is a flat oval and is not round. The logos look clean from what my unexperienced eye can see.

W11 is in the upper right corner? Does anyone know if this is a legit bracelet or what that code is? I've done tons of research and I can't find any other bracelets like this.

Below that is:

STEELINOX

62510 H

Thanks for looking and for your time.

Cheers!
