·IMHO, I think you can get a far better example for not much more. Here's one with a sparkle dial, as an example. https://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/omega-seamaster-chronometer-168-022-circa-1969-a-5134263.html

Yours isnt a bad choice either! Considering the little price difference between both. But the dial looks like refinished?
I was having a hard time to look for a decent on for 168.024. I don't know why, I just get attracted by the beads of rice bracelet for this particular model.

·Do not pay 800 USD with that dial damage, you will regret it!
Check watchrecon as pointed out by @efauser and this japanese bay seller

·Looks like corrosion here:
I bought a one like that with a much smaller dial damage than yours, it turn out to had suffered a water damage

·I wouldn't consider either of them.
The dial damage on the first is way too distracting, end of story.
The second one looks to have been ridden hard: scratched up case back, beat up bezel, case corrosion and a tatty and ratty BOR bracelet...It will also need a deep clean and service judging by its -57sec/day time keeping and substantial DNA build up 😲

·Polishing might still be acceptable
Dial seems to have spotting that it is off the normal and would keep me from buying it
Movement picture is very small so you can't see exactely whats the matter with it.
The color of the bridge seems to differ from the other movement parts so it could be taken from another movement

·I may be wrong but I have one which looks unpolished to me: the sides have a light vertical brushing, not a mirror finish.
