Buy Complete Watch Solely For Bracelet?

This seems like a ridiculous idea, but I can't seem to let it go and would like the insights of TRF. Please indulge me for a moment. For the past several months, I've been unsuccessully hunting for a SS Super Jubilee bracelet to place on my Pepsi GMT. I love the look and have had a couple on the hook but for various reasons couldn't real 'em in the boat. I'm now a bit frustrated with my inability to obtain a SJ and am running out of patience. Anyway, in a moment of admitted desparation, I want to explore the possibility of buying a complete BNIB watch for only the SJ and then either selling the "donor" watch sans bracelet or sending it to Rolex to have a new bracelet installed and thereafter selling the entire watch as if new (or like new).

Two questions. First, am I insane or simply showing a bit of TRF creativity? Second, if the answer to the first Q allows me to keep my dignity (or at least a portion of it), what current model has the SS Super Jubilee bracelet that I could use as a donor? Although I understand Rolex's desires for keeping a tight reign on its parts, etc., its policies are keeping me from GMT perfection!

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Darin
