GraceAudrey 1 Posted October 1, 2022 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, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dimensions look the same as the ST-19 so any ST-19 case should fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a symbol L 51 near the balance wheel Edited October 2, 2022 by GraceAudrey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solid Gold and 904l steel are a modern Rolex thing really not applied to vintage 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
