SS bracelet for SS/Gold Daytona

Just wondering since I don't want too much gold on bracelet and too heavy for me, so is it possible to put SS bracelet on SS/gold Daytona?

You can buy a TT Daytona on bracelet and buy a SS bracelet separately. The SS bracelet would be quite expensive though, somewhere between US$1500 and US$2000.

Wow that's really too much to pay for a bracelet, probably keep the TT one if not really that heavy. I have both Daytonas in leather strap so is the TT about the same weight as a SS GMT II since the GMT is pretty hefty? Tried the all WG Daytona and it just weighs too much.

TT Daytona is only slightly heavier than the SS GMT IIC. The WG Daytona has a lot more gold content than the TT Daytona, hence it is much heavier.

Just bought the watch and SS/gold watch is completely fine in terms of weight, think it even weighs a bit less than the GMT, or maybe I'm bias since I like the watch so much! Now being authenticated at service and pics later.

I bet that would be really rare since price of a new SS bracelet is quite steep.
