Rolex Daytona 116508 vs 116518

Hi Guys,
New to this, but looking at purchasing a Gold Daytona.
Really like the black ceramic bezel but want a gold bracelt.
Quick question, would I be better of buying a 116508 and OEM modding the bezel OR the 116518 and purchasing an additional gold bracelet somehow?
What would be easier?
Cheaper?
Better for resale later on?
Havent seen a single gold bracelet black ceramic bezel anywhere.
Thanks in advanced.

Good luck, I doubt you will find a bezel in the wild

Tried to find a Bezel. Sellers have them online but im pretty sure they are all fake as.

Been trying to research if the bracelet is interchangable, can't find a single example of successfull bracelet on the 116518. Some discuss it not being possible based on the en link and lug holes. Going to contact Rolex.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
