Somehow, I think it’s deliberate...
Rolex usually does incremental changes to their models, minor details in many cases so that the model lineage remains evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
It’s like taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back, but the latter was more to avoid alienating owners of the now-discontinued model. Owners of 116613LB would be glad that they had the gold/yellow wordings and gold crown while owners of 126613LB would gush over the slimmer lugs and longer power reserves.
To people outside of the watch circle, they only know it’s a Rolex.

It’s Finally Friday!
Looking forward to a great weekend! Let’s drag our feet past today and enjoy the weekend! Stay safe and healthy! ...
There is a super neat detail that makes this watch way cooler than the new one imo:
The letters are yellow gold color. In the new one, they made them wight, I guess for cost saving. Super disappointing imo but great for your version! All the best, Alex

Very nicely put!
I would personally go for the gold letters and the smaller diameter all day long. Enjoy! Alex
