Oh dear, that's a mistreated one. But the crown alone may be worth what you paid. Please take it to watchmaker inmediately, that heavy corrosion outside does not bode well for the inside.
I think that caseback is not actually corroded just thick with grime, it looks to have been on a nato like strap and not often cleaned. I would bet that this would clean up really well if taken to a watchmaker, I think the movement will be fine.
Good to hear that we are at least three Scandinaves here ☺
I'm a Swede considering to migrate to Denmark
This is a truly interesting find and if in decent shape inside, will be a steal, price wise. This is one where I'd be curious to know by ConElPueblo or another expert if a heavy polishing may add to the value?

...with the corrosion on the back. I would buy that watch but not with the back like that.
A wee consideration if you’re moving for the beer: may I suggest settling in Belgium? The gold standard.
(And plus one for team Denmark, albeit distant family history....👍)
