Is this Submariner 16600 case worth anything?

Long story short, a buddy gave me a fake 16600 Sub back in 2004 - I just found it in the closet and was thinking of using it for Dremel practice. But before I do, I thought to have you guys take a look. Make sure I'm not about to Dremel up a potentially nice case! Second question, for the experts - is it worth considering using this case to build a 5512/13 rep (be gentle; n00b here)?

TIA!

You have a sapphire crystal (or more likely a mineral crystal) so it would be tough to fit a plastic crystal in there and make it work so that you could build a 5513.

Since it's a circa 2004 case, it's really not worth much. There are much better cases out there these days. You could put a Chinese movement in there with a sub dial and hands and have a cheap beater- that's about all I could see to do with it.
