Batman 116710BLNR vs 126710BLNR difference?

Hi. Can someone with experience let me know how different the case feels on the wrist between the old and new Batman GMT Master II (both Oyster bracelet).

The all black 116710LN has been daily watch for over 15 years, mainly because of how perfectly it just sits on my wrist, and despite adding some very nice other watches over the years, I've always ended up wanting to get the GMT back on my wrist the moment I get home.

So... probably going to add a Batman and have a 2nd watch I actually want to wear. Would prefer a newer model and new movement, but I note there's *some* change to the case.

It's pretty tricky to find the newer model with Oyster, so I'm not sure I'll be able to get one on the wrist prior to pulling the trigger. Is it basically undistinguishable on the wrist, or are there big enough differences that it's worth tracking one down to check the wrist feel? Thx!

For what it’s worth, I personally cannot notice any differences in the size/shape or wrist feel.

i dont think there is any change to the case dimensions or size , only the movement inside is upgraded for the new 126710 BLNR.
