I just got this picture back from my watchmaker:
From the outside this watch looked great and ran ok:
His words:
The only one I had problems with was the 8325 Seikomatic R on which the case was rusted and wouldn't open, even with my bench mounted opener. I was about to give up on it but it finally 'cracked' and as you'll see in the two additional pictures, it wasn't a pretty sight! Thankfully the movement was unaffected.You'll see in the first 8325 picture that the case does have quite a bit of pitting as a result, but with a new gasket fitted and the caseback in place you won't be able to see any of it.
Result:

It is. But still I prefer vintage for providing a more unique experience and feel.
