A DG3804B will fit in the case, but stem height is very tight and the movement tab at 9 o'clock doesn't have purchase on the inside of the case, so you need to cut a tab so that it sits at an angle in the case.

it is always useful to have this type of information to share, I would have another question, the stem that comes together with the movement DG 3804 fits the gen crown? or you need to make changes

Rolex stems & crowns are Tap 9, as are most stems & crowns.

Milk has done such a great service to us. Those crown guards are sweet because it allows us to really get to whatever shape we want. My next project.. please don’t stop making them!

Can Justin engrave between the lugs as well? I can email him if you don’t know. He does a great job with PanAm case backs but he has to mill the surface flat hence my question. Thanks.

tripdog Hi information, what can I use to decrease the width of an insert to fit a milk bezel?

This is a wonderful build. I had priced out this watch in the past many times and the builds came in at over $1200 just for parts so that case is a steal. Always thought the gmt crownguards were the most aesthetically pleasing out of all models and you've nailed the shape on these.

Hey guys ! What do you think about using a milk’s case to build a 5512 ? The main issue gonna be the bezel and the insert but do you think it is manageable ?

What? U can’t use a 1675 case for a 5512/5513/1680.

Does the midcase don’t look the same ? I mean, of course the bezel and the insert are not correct, and the dimensions of dial and movement are not the same but as long as it is supposed to end with ETA, it’s not a big deal right ?

at my eyes the midcase are almost the same. I mean, certainly closer to gen than a a cartel case...

No the cases are completely different.
They’re both accepting 20mm bracelets and are Rolex‘s, but that’s it.
