While you find the perfect one, there's this (and currently on Black Friday sale I think):

I would also give a vote for the Uncle Seiko option. It’s nice to have the vintage original bracelet and 653 end links but for daily use having a new strap and solid solid end links is a good bet….

Another vote for the US bracelet made for this model, especially as your hunt for authentic vintage parts may take some time. I have also put a repro leather rally strap on (courtesy of Heuertime) to good effect:

It’s a cool reference and deserves wrist time!

Thanks guys, i will give this bracelet a shot. Still looking for original links though.

I have the same exact watch and can vouch for the Uncle Seiko bracelet! Good quality and comfortable for the price! Great watch, I just wish it was a bit bigger for my liking!

I have had this Omega for close to a year now and i haven't worn it once because the bracelet is too tight. I would need to add one or two links but i haven't been able to find any. The bracelet clasp only says Omega Stainless Steel No 12. They are attached with a Spring bar, which is very peculiar but I have seen it on a few other Omega watches of that period. the bracelet is a 22mm bracelet where it meets the case.
Would you guys know where i can get links for that bracelet?
A few pics of the watch with the bracelet:
