Inside clasp logos - what's the difference?

Morning TRF,

I have 2013 216570 explorer 2 and my friend has a 2018 GMT master 2. I assumed that our bracelets would be the same, but the rolex logos on the inner side of the clasps are different. Mine is black (printed maybe?) and theirs is engraved / stamped with no colour. Does anyone know the difference between the two? Is it an age or model difference perhaps?

Cheers!

Pictures would help, but the difference is age.

I've found two examples online but I cant link to them as my post count is less than 10, hopefully these screenshots show what I mean. Cropped as too big otherwise!
