Different movement, different bracelets.

Sub-date has the SEL one whereas the no-date Sub is fitted with the non-SEL bracelet.

Movement is the 3135 in the date one and in the non-date one is the 3130 Modified movement, now also with 31 jewels.

Cheers - JJ

JJ,
Is it safe to say that one runs better than the other? or will their accuracy be similar?

If I may, COSC certification aside, one is just as accurate and robust as the other. Indeed the movement that powers the Sub ND is the same as used in the EXP I, a watch that is certified.
The only real difference between the two is the addition of a date feature in the 16610.(as far as movement)
There are several menbers I'm aware of that report accuracy of +1 sec with the 14060m. Indeed I've talked about this with an AD who told me if an ND sub goes back to Rolex for repair, service, or regulation it's regulated just like it's COSC cousin.

The no date sub also has a different style diver extension.

Is the 14060M case narrower (less deep) than the 16610?

Simply put the difference is no date, and no chrono tag certification, otherwise a gorgeous watch. I have both.

Both look great, both are rough, depends upon whether you require to know the date everytime you see the time.
