16223 or 116223 Need Help! Your thoughts PLEASE

I am considering the purchase of a pre-owned two tone Datejust, either a late 90's 16223 or an early 116223 with fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet and white stick dial, full set. I pretty well know the differences in the two watches. I would appreciate some of your thoughts on the two choices. Price is not a big difference. What about the polished lugs on the newer style, that is one concern.

Sorry I don't have any pictures, no specific watches. I just want opinions on the two models.

the case-lugs are marginally larger in the 116233 i believe and its got a better built bracelet with hidden clasp on the jubilee ... other then that not a huge difference i think
