How 'Bad' is the case on this Tudor Sub 76100??
https://www.ebay.com/itm/126038163580
So, I have an issue where I love watches like this, honest, yet beat too all hell. My concern with this one is the corrosion on the back of the case when the case back is removed. Pretty sure I am just watching this example, but I am curious the consensus as to how badly damaged this case is. |

It's an old case and typical of early stainless 316L backs. It is a lesson on routine maintenance and cleaning which would all but eliminate or postpone ths damage.
There are a number of ways to repair the surface if it no longer seals adequately.
