Rolex Datejust case Vietnam

Rolex's "gents" watches are pretty plain-Jane, so it's all in the details & dimensions. It is impossible to make any judgements without knowing which model you want to assemble &/or without measuring that case to see if it matches the gen. What I can say is the case looks pretty beaten & the crystal looks a bit too tall. Once you know which model you are building, why not just buy a gen case? There are plenty of them floating around & they can often be had for reasonable prices in similar condition to the 1 in your pics. That way, you know gen parts will fit without much fiddling &, in the future, you have the option of swapping any rep parts for gens to end up with a total gen.

I have a 1601 dial that is in poor condition, I was planning to build a fun project with a low budget. I’m trying to find a cheap case

Agree with freddy333 and Mr Sm.

It looks (to me) like a DD case from china.  DD cases are 'partially hooded' like the one in your picture.

 

"The seller says that is a Vietnam one."

Never saw a Vn case with a green sticker on it...that's a chi 'trademark'.  Maybe the mail plane flew over Vn.
