Ahhh wow! Good call I didn't even notice that first glance (Novice haha).
Otherwise does it look OK though?
How much would the rust decrease value? Cost of repair?
Looks correct and it is running so rust might not be too bad but often just the slightest rust will require pieces to be replaced. The last 806/809 I had done with about the same amount of rust cost me over $500. If those movement securing screws are so rusted they snap off it will require more work by the watchmaker which means more $$ to the owner. I think you'll at least have $500 into getting it serviced, a new crystal, and the rust issue addressed. It's probably going to sell in the $2000-$2500 range as is.
