It's not just the movement, you also need the right case for the specific dial. If all you have is the movement, that's really not enough to justify putting together an entire watch, IMO. Just keep it for parts. If you have the dial and hands also, let's see some photos and measurements.

Please consider trying a little harder if you want people to take the time to help you. We really can't help you without the information I mentioned previously. You haven't even mentioned what type of dial we're talking about (Seamaster, Constellation, Geneve, etc.). Even then, most likely you are going to need to do a lot of research, and perhaps some trial and error with various cases. Bottom line is that you need to identify the reference number of the case, which won't necessarily be easy.

The reference number was 168.027 with caliber 564, it is an omega constellation, now what i want to know is will a case originally made for cal 563 or 565 for example fit my my movement

It's a bit tiresome the way you are parceling out little bits of information post by post. And still no photos. My previous comments stand. Good luck.

Sorry that’s on me, i guess as you said i might just have to test with various cases to find out the answer

A random case that takes a 56x movement will work with your 564 but many will not work with your dial. Ideally you want the same case ref your dial started with. To see if any other case references are suitable you’re going to have to do a lot of research on dial sizes and possibly hand clearances. Even after all that, if you find another case that ‘works’ it obviously won’t be correct. Better to be patient and try to find a 168.027 case.
