Rolex 2 Tone ie replace steel with white gold

I was just looking at my Rolex 2 tone steel and Yellow gold and thought if they replaced the steel with White Gold, hmmm given the difference in materials I wonder how this would change the appearance of the watch. Any ideas?

The layperson would not notice the difference unless they were wearing or buying the watch :)

That would be a great configuration. But what could they even call that??? Rolesor blanc

Do you think the white gold would be brighter than the 904L stainless? I noticed a decidedly different brilliance in the Yellow or Rose Gold compared with the steel. I wonder if the 2 tone with white gold replacing the steel would make the entire experience for the wearer more awesome?

Cool, but much more expensive compared to similar looking rolesor version. I own a 126333 and would go for the rolesor to save some cash.

I would actually prefer that for the weight, and durability of steel on the exterior parts of bracelet would be nice. But the average consumer buying it over steel, would be a small number.
