Seiko 6119-8550 Movement and Dial Project

[7s26]

Hi everyone. Never really modding before, so needing some suggestions. I have this really clean 6119C movement, with linen dial I'd like to use. It originally is from a 6119-8550 from 1975.

The case is terribly polished, with very deep dings so I removed it. And worse of all for me personally, the case has an integrated bracelet design (don't have the OEM bracelet either). So I'd prefer to fit a "normal" (non-integrated bracelet design case) 18mm or 20mm lug width case. I also don't have a crown for this.

Since this is a very clean, linen dial (ca. 27mm-28mm in diameter), with what seems a clean and original 6119C movement; I'd love to get some use of them.

What are some case mod and crown mod options? I'm okay with third-party parts (such as from Ali-Express). After receiving a new crown and case, I'd have my local watchmaker mod it and service the 6119C movement.

Thanks in advance.

I very much doubt there is an AM MOD case that will accept this movement without major modification to either part. 

I would search out a 6119 watch, with a good condition open lug case, and a non working movement. Then swap movements.

Make sure you look for one with the same crown position.

Also ensure whoever services the movement is familiar with arbor port jewelling in the event it needs up-jewelling.

Well I have some old unused 6119 cases that can be yours for the price of postage.

Also may I add I believe I could make it fit into a 6106, 6309 or even 7002 case if you really wanted a particular case.  That's where the "real modding" comes into play.  I just dropped a 7548 quartz into a 7S26 SKX case which supposedly could not be done.  It can. I did.
