Ok, so I gave your advice some thought and came up with the following solution.
I have managed to source a complete bracelet (Ref. 78200) from a GMT for $1250 shipped. It is slightly used but in good condition, coming from a 116710BLNR. Assuming that it fits, I will use the Oysterlock clasp from that one on my Ceramics Daytona. As suggested, I will present my old (and slightly damaged) Daytona-Oysterlock clasp to the RSC. If they can fix it, great. If not, at least I can keep it. I am hoping that they will allow me to bring in just the bracelet, if I ask nicely one more time. So now that I definitely have two clasps, I will purchase a Rubber B strap for use with the "surplus clasp" on my Daytona. If the old one is no repairable, I'll have to live with the "damaged" clasp on a rubber bracelet. Still better than no bracelet at all. And if I ever get tired of it, I can put the extra bracelet back together and sell it as a complete 78200 bracelet. Given that they are around $2k new, I consider it money in the bank.

No vacillating. Purchased the complete 78200 strap last week.
