You are correct, a matching gold bracelet will be expensive. I was not aware 
that your watch had a gold case.  .
Another option is to look for third party straps and have the original Omega 
buckle stitched on to the new strap.

 Personally, I'd spend the pesos and get a gold bracelet. You live only 
once....
