Anyone put a SS bracelet on a Rolex TT watch head?

I wonder how that would look like. For example, to see a TT GMT IIC watch head with a SS GMT IIC bracelet. Would it tone down the gold look to an almost low-key level? Would it look weird?

BTW that idea of SS bracelet on a TT watch came from Breitling -- with them you can have a choice about this. I'm not saying it should be followed though.

Anyone has pictures of such combo? Or perhaps a YG watch head with SS bracelet?


Thanks,
Fiery

Never thought of that, nor seen any pics. Interesting concept, I guess...

Never thought of it, but now that I do I don't really like the idea of it.

The idea came to me when playing with the configurator on Breitling's website:

I've seen it a number of times on Subs.. The SS bracelet looks fine as the main case matches so, unless you know what a TT Sub is supposed to look like, it seems perfectly normal... Probably easier to maintain too...
