5513 Very best case restoration regardless of price USA

I'm thinking about restoring the case on my late ‘60s 5513 Submariner to its original factory specs. Since I plan on keeping this watch for the long haul, I figure it’s worth pampering it and bringing it back as close as possible to how it looked when it left Rolex over 50 years ago. The case has seen a lot of polishing over the decades, so I know laser welding will be necessary to bring it back to life.

I’m looking for the top specialist in the U.S. for this kind of restoration, and I’m open to recommendations, regardless of cost.

- Does anyone with vintage expertise have advice on where I should send this work?

- While price isn't my main concern, what would be a reasonable ballpark range for this kind of restoration?

Thanks
