I am looking for a case for the L51 movement. Please help!

Hi guys, 
I have a Rolex vinatge chronographe, it is not genuine. the inner L51 movement I am using, the case is very old (circa 1950s), the gold filling is quite thin and has peeled off over time. So where can I find a case that fits the L51 movement? Stainless steel will look great as the yellow color will fade. I have searched on Ebay but almost none or did I miss one? Please tell me, where can I buy the case?
Thank you,

No its a Landeron 51 movement.  Looking to see what the dimensions are.

Dimensions look the same as the ST-19 so any ST-19 case should fit.

I actually wouldn't change a thing.  It looks perfect.

Yes, It's a Landeron 51 Movement. There is a symbol L 51 near the balance wheel

I think it looks good too plus many vintage pieces were plated.

Solid Gold and 904l steel are a modern Rolex thing really not applied to vintage
