Milk 5513 Build—3130 movement?

[DeLoMan]

Hi all,

Ordering parts at the moment for a 5513 Milk case build. I know the Bivintage case accepts a VR3130 movement with no issue. Has anyone successfully installed a VR3130 in the Milk case? I’m told there may be a step inside that prevents this movement from being used.

Thanks in advance!

I installed a VR 3135 into a 1680 case from Milk. In case of mounting the movement, the both Milk cases (5513 and 1680) should be the same. Here the full build Story.
It is now more than two years ago. If Milk doesen't change the case you have to remove material from the inner to fit the VR3130 movement.

Very helpful! Thank you! I’m optimistic that my Dremel can handle this.

Would be interested in a build thread!

 

[DeLoMan]

Absolutely! Planning on it!

I put a 3135 in a Milk 1680 case last week that I ordered a couple months ago. Fits fine.

For milk case
The dial of 5513 is 26 mm
Dial of 1680 is 26.5mm

The inner opening of the rehaut is different.
When I assembled with 5513 case
VS3130 did not fit well due to the slight difference in the steps inside the case.

Milk? I sent a few messages here a year or so ago and never heard back

Waiting for a V2 with the crystal neck improved now... or praying for one at least

Very odd. I messaged him a few days ago and he replied within hours and my case has shipped out already.

I ordered 2 gmt and 2 1680 cases last month and he replied on here within minutes.

Milk messaged me after that, so he's monitoring

What is about the stem height with the Milk case?
I was thinking this is different for Milk cases and mostly made for ETA based movements and not any VR/VS/SH/SA or GEN movements to fit in?

Best way to reach Milk is via his WhatsApp number. Always quick to reply there.
