I've learned to appreciate vintage patina from use not abuse. As Al says it's in the eyes of the collector [your dial is sweet, Al!]. My Tudor DD has some pitting from, I assume, deteriated seals. Doesn't bother me in the least because it's very difficult to see unless magnified.
Patina w/ even shading and color is probably an asset on vintage pieces, imho.
