You're unlikely to spot the difference with your eye.

Bicycle chain stretch is measured over a segment about a foot long. Even then the difference is very little. The gauge provides a fixed reference. I think it will be very tough to discern a difference even trying to match link to link over the max linear length available.
The later cars can be unreliable as far as gauging wear from the tensioner extentioner. A friend rolled one in recently after finding the extension around 2 mm beyond the spec (14 vs 12, I think). When he was done, it was still around 14 mm. I suppose this could indicate heavy wear on the sprockets but nothing else was consistent with that.
