Sub 16610 bezel differences

Hey all new to the forum - but have been researching the rolex sub for some time now. I am looking to be in the market for one this fall. I have been looking around at pre-owned 16610s and seems like the bezels are more pronounced in some models. That is atleast in the pictures that ive seen for different listings and websites etc. I do like the more pronounced "teeth" on the bezel as compared to a more reserved look. I uploaded these two pictures to show what I am seeing. Is this just a play on lighting and angle? Or is there actually different bezels or models within the 16610 model line?

Shouldn't be any difference in them originally. I believe it's partly lighting and partly because some are polished/over polished and that can softening the lines noticeably.

The Submariner 16610 was produced from the year 1987 to 2010.
And yes in these years there are different bezels with deeper and less deeper teeth used.
