Right, I assumed you'd have it restored so the case isn't so roughed up. If you're comfortable with it as-is, then that's fine of course.

Frankly, I couldn't live with that level of wear and I'd be worried that Lange would give me a massive service quote even if I asked for no restoration/polish just because of the condition of the watch.

That level of wear will also affect resale price quite a bit, IMO.
