Omega Speedmaster Bracelet

Hi guys. New to the forum, a hello to everyone :)

I recently purchased the Speedmaster Moonwatch which I love to bits, a true classic. Only problem is I have now developed a rash around my wrist. I'm allergic to nickel and that is the reaction I get every time I touch nickel. Both the watch and strap are stainless steel but I've been led to believe that nickel can be used as a finish on stainless steel straps to give it shine.

I'm pretty despondent about this to be honest. What should I do? Buy a leather strap and buckle for it and deal with the fact I can't wear it with the bracelet? Or do you think its possible to get a bracelet that does not contain nickel?

Any help would be great guys.
