Rose Gold Ceramic Daytona

Thinking about picking one of these up with the chocolate dial to go along with my New Sub. Whats the general consensus on this watch? Just not too sure about the leather strap. I have never wore a watch with a leather strap. I would much prefer a solid gold bracelet. Is it possible to buy one? Would it fit? My AD says no, but figured I would check with the experts here on TRF.
Also it seems the Rosé Gold has sort of turned into a girls color?
I also see a lot of women now in general wearing Daytona's.
my other option is to just get a SS Daytona.
Any Opinions?
Thanks

1st: Buy Rose gold Daytona (non ceramic) with bracelet.
2nd: Buy Ceramic Daytona
3rd: Swap straps
4th: Send me extra daytona
5th: Thank me later.

An AD can't fit a RG bracelet to that Daytona since they are restricted to original options (no bracelet option for the Ceramic Daytona).

So technically the bracelet would fit?
If I could find an AD to do it? Could it be ordered using say a serial number off a solid rosé gold Daytona? I like the Ceramic Bezel and the contrast it gives.
Thanks!

I don't know that the 78595's endlinks would fit the lugs right.

Regardless, you won't find an AD that will do that. And you'll end up spending $40K-ish all told trying to piece it together...

Maybe wait until Basel 2013 is over - perhaps Rolex will release a version complete with bracelet.

I would wait until Basel 2013, most likely they would come up with an all gold Daytona with a ceramic bezel

I have one with the ivory face which is great. Like the chocolate dial as well. I have seen the Rose gold bracelet version with the chocolate face as well but you would not have the ceramic bezel in this case. Good luck.

Nice...I was after the ivory dial as I'm not keen on the Arabic numerals but when I saw the ivory it just didn't compare to the chocolate.

I never owned a leather strap watch until I bought a Panerai, but wouldn't think twice about the RG on black - just quality and you don't have to worry about scratching the PCL's also the bezel being ceramic you'd be able to wear worry free as these seem to be the points of most wear

No the strap cannot be replaced for an all metal one the end links are completely different
