Patina is just an aesthetic choice that some watch owners like. While I agree with your comparison on vintage cars and their restoration, there are counterpoints as well.
For example, boots and patina. Check out this RW Iron Ranger which has developed a nice patina (not my pic)

While I wouldn't purposefully age my own IRs, I do like that look and assume mine will get there eventually.
sure it's not just a fake Seagull 1963?
You wrote: "The right dial is actually a 24 hour dial" but the subdial goes to 30?
while it sounds odd that there are fakes of a Seagull 1963 but there are fakes of everything--no matter the cost.
agreed that, insofar as Seiko mechanicals are concerned, they are trying to position themselves upmarket.
and while many like to make the comparison to Orient, few know of Alba (a Seiko Watch sub brand), which is taking up position in the old Seiko space.
For example:
This Alba 200 (ref AL4293X)
