I don't know, but it's amazing isn't it? I've seen many pitted Rolex case-backs from the 70s, although not as bad as that one. And in my experience, it's also pretty common to see pitting in the o-ring groove.
To be honest, I don't see pitting as frequently with most of the other brands I collect. I don't know if it was something about the steel or the design, or that people just wore the heck out of their Rolexes for decades.
