The typical vietnam 16700 case has a tube hole drilled for 6020 tube to fit 600 crowns.

However, you can use a conversion 6330 tube to fit into a 6020 tube hole and use a 604/603 crown.

6330 tubes are highly recommended, and I have been using them for my Vietnam case gmt builds (e.g., 16710 and 16570).
