·Greetings All,
Thank you for your time, comments and expertise in advance.
1. I am considering to buy a 168.005 and am wondering if the pitting or wear around the seal can affect the price or longevity of the watch, overall great shape, near perfect face, w/ bracelet, all original etc., it's sitting at about $2800.00 US asking?
2. I purchased an exhibition caseback for a stainless body but later received confirmation it would not fit the desired model so am wondering if a stainless threaded caseback is proper or acceptable to install on a 18k gold 168.005/s caseback?
18k caseback, 168.005/s:

Considering to purchase, wear around seal concern, ~2800.00 US?
Thank you,
