Daytona 126XXX Bracelet Ceramic bezel

After a visit to the local AD I remain with two questions and an unpleasant experiance.

*The seller says the case of 126513LN, daytona with oysterflex, is different from the 126509 and it's not possible to fit a bracelet.???
*Is there a possibility, with acces to spare parts, to swith from gold bezel to ceramic bezel on the 126509.
The seller explained me the watch I would like, if available, will only be sold to there top 20 customers. So I had to switch to another model and the 10 minutes visit ended with "send us an email with your request"

Oysterflex models have a machined case to accept the spacer/filler between the strap and the case. It is not removable without disassembling the bezel/spacer assembly.

Thanks for the reply.
So the case is really different and not only a specific kind of end-link that differs between strap or bracelet.
I would like to have the ceramic bezel in combitation with the bracelet. I do not intend to switch between strap and bracelet frequently.

No, that is not possible.

Apparently it's not possible to switch the strap and bracelet between the two models. Is it possible to interchange the bezels?
