Bracelet help for 198.0034

Good day Omega Forums,

I've got a vintage Constellation 198.0034 for which I'm looking into my options with regard to OEM bracelets. I've got the correct bracelet for the reference (purchased from a friend who has the same watch but doesn't like bracelets and prefers straps), but the gold plating is a bit rough. I found someone who had apparently asked Omega about getting a new bracelet for a C-case Constellation and after discussing with them I did indeed contact Omega about a new bracelet for this reference (end links 113) but did not receive a reply.

Has anyone been able to source these bracelets, either NOS or otherwise from Omega? If not, what would be my best option to get the plating restored on the bracelet I do have?

Photos have been attached, both of the watch and of the bracelet in question - I believe these photos should illustrate the gap in condition between the watch itself and the bracelet adequately to explain my motives for restoring/replacing the bracelet 😀

Thank you!

You can get it replated. You might ask a manufacturing jeweler.

Would they be able to do other things to it as well? The end links have the typical well-worn slack in them, and it's a bit stretched (you can see it on the long side of the pic), plus I'd like to have a link moved from the short side to the long side (wouldn't be an issue but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it apart...).
