Yeah, inside the case back is stamped on the bivintage cases. I don't know why he's disappeared off eBay though, maybe try and reach out to him on here.
Hello guys I’m a beginner to vintage Rolex, I recently bought a 5513 replica from a seller and I wonder what case does he use. Is this called milk case? The part I circled in red looks really weird for me compared to Gen. Do I need to do some improve? Really appreciate for everybody’s help!

I don't know much about it, but to my eyes it looks different from the MILK case.Hello guys I’m a beginner to vintage Rolex, I recently bought a 5513 replica from a seller and I wonder what case does he use.

I am not a detail-oriented person, but I believe that nothing is perfect in replicas.
Your watch looks great.
Enjoy your watch.

Can you link the sales thread?
How much did you pay? And did you get a description ?
I bought this from a Chinese seller called Time Works, I think he is one of the members of rwi but I don't know his account.
He told me all the parts are Vietnam and I paid 1180 USD.
Here is the case itself without any modification. I'm pretty happy about the dial and other parts, but I feel like I need some further modification on the case.
Could you tell me where to buy JKF cases?
I recently replaced my insert with a Kissing4 lobtime
The insert is great, but I see what you mean. It just looks too new. I have not bonded with it…so I will need to age it a bit too
Case is a modded JKF

I like this case.
Can you show the sides and a close up picture of the lugholes ?
What i would do with this is to change the insert and pearl, and the crystal too.
I think the crystal is why you feel the watch is « wrong ». There is a big light distortion on the sides due to its shape
Also, the watch is new. So it does not feel credible as 5513 are old watches
If you are ready to invest a bit, I recommend
@pompompurin, a great modder, based in asia…
I don’t know if there is customs risks though

My view differs slightly from yours.
I see the same rehaut edge on the two Vietnamese cases I have.
I think this is because the edge of the rehaut appears thicker from the front of the case.
The two have different plexi.
This is not resolved by replacing the plexi.
Also, if it is the same Vietnamese case I have, I believe the lug holes are already 1.3mm.
In the first picture @Yushang Jiang posted, the PIP has already been replaced.

this is a great build @trash3939
i recommend also changing the crown 702 as it sticks out too much. i too have used bi case for my build but trashed the insert for Slays.
edit: i think we have the same case as the CGs are same

This is a comparison with the MILK case.
If you compare the 1680 with the 5513 case, the edge of the rehaut does not appear large on the 1680 case.
In my opinion, the 1680 and 5513 cases are the same in appearance but the 1680 dial is 26.5mm while the 5513 dial is 26mm.
I think this is due to the smaller opening dimension of the rehaut in the 5513 case compared to the 1680 case.
Therefore, compared to the 1680 case, the 5513 case appears thicker at the edge of the rehaut when viewed from the front.

The crown is a standard Bi vintageStore case.
I would like to purchase an Athaya crown.

Is it this crown?
