Possible to put a ceramic bezel on a White Gold 126509?

Out of curiosity does anyone know if it's possible to put a ceramic bezel on the newer white gold Daytona 126509? Not chance I'll get a LeMans so trying to get as close as possible

Why? Ceramic looks terrible on watches, I prefer the gold or steel on the bezel. I honestly think ceramic cheapens the watch. On a Sub and GMT its fine but not on the other models.

I know what you’re saying but somehow it works on the LeMans and that’s the look OP is going for.

I'm more of a bracelet guy, cant imagine it would be cheap to do just curious if the bezel would even fit.

I prefer the ceramic bezel too. Gold bezel is too easy to scratch or ding.
