Swapping oysterflex to leather/gator strap

[Jamesw20]

Looking to buy YG ceramic Daytona and would like to have the option of alligator band. Interestingly, I was at AD 5 years ago buying my wife a 178341 and had a 116515 on my wrist and backed out. Still kicking myself as had 0% interest for 4 years offered! I really like the formal look of the alligator strap. I know the model changed with the addition of the oysterflex and wondered if I can use a skin/leather strap on 116518 LN? Thanks for your input
