Difference between 93160 and 78790 bracelet

Hi all,
What is the difference between a 93160 and 78790 bracelet only (excluding the clasp). Can’t easily find the answer online.
I have a 93160 bracelet (with a 93150 clasp) on my exp ii so just wondered what’s the main difference if any between the 93160 and 78790 bracelet only, seeing as the 78790 bracelet is listed on my Rolex warranty card.

A 93160 is an SEL bracelet version of the 93150 with polished sides.

A 78790 is non-SEL, although it has an SEL version, 78790A, both have polished sides.

There is little difference between the Oyster bracelet halves except for the stamped numbers. Mostly it is the clasp and polished sides or centers that distinguish them, though non- or SEL is obvious.
