The only way I'd even remotely consider a watch with a replacement case (especially on anything vintage) would be if it was done via service at an RSC, and accompanied by the (verifiable) service paperwork/warranty card showing the replacement case on the service invoice, along with the "new" serial number. Even then, it would have to be priced aggressively enough to compensate for the substantial valuation hit that a re-cased vintage watch takes. YMMV...
