Am I crazy to turn down a TT Sea Dweller?

Hello everyone, I called an AD within several hours of my home inquiring after an SS SD43, as that is a watch I really love. Had a brief conversation, the usual: Hard to get, lengthy waitlist, happy to put my name down, etc. I was polite and appreciative of his time, hung up and thought, “The search continues…”

He called me back four minutes later (I checked my call log), and asked if I’d be interested in a TT 43 as he could get me one within a few days. I was flummoxed. This is the first time I’ve gotten close to acquiring any Rolex.

The problem: I’ve tried on a TT Sub and didn’t love it. I’m not really a gold guy and the TT may be more overstated than I like. But, it feels like I’m in rarefied air with the chance to own a beautiful watch.

Is a bracelet swap an option? I believe I would enjoy the dial and bezel if it only had an SS Oyster.

What would you fine folks do?

Pics for reference. First is me trying on an SS, second is a stock TT photo.
