I have one that mymanmatt built for my wife. I had the gen  case and gen dial, he provided the rest. contact him, he might be able to help you find what you need.

 

I don't believe that any of the rep manufacturers build them.

Every one I have seen was in a 36mm case with 6mm crown...should be 34mm and 5.3mm.

Right, if you want a believable one, you need to find a Rolex case and dial/ My wifes is 34mm and has a 5.3mm movement and hands are not gen. I believe Matt tried a bunch of different movements and finally settled on an asian as it was the thinnest. 2824,2836 and 2892 would not  fit. It really makes a nice watch. i believe her serial number dated it to around 1968.

There are reps but as automatico pointed out they are usually 36mm.  I bought a cheapo one with a black dial and transplanted the guts into a rep 34mm Tudor Prince Date case with fair results.  But, to get nice you need to go Franken with gen case, 2824 movement, and gen dial.
