It sounds like there might be an advantage on the newer watch with the Luminover dial.

Some more hints,i assume both watches are with box and Rolex paper-not only jeweler s paperwork-,also assume both are freshly serviced by RSC or a rolex trained watchmaker ,my personal opinion the lug hole case is cooler than the one w/o holes however luminova might offer better luminosity in dark the tritium aging very very nicely.aldo chec how stretched the bracelet are not neccesarily the younger is in better shape.
