Was considering buying a watch with this bracelet but the one available is a little too short. I have tried to do some research of where to source links but to no avail . Is this something an omega servicer/boutique would have or is the bracelet too old for that

Check eBay, especially sellers from Japan. The 1036 links are often available.

If it's a good watch buy it, you can adress the bracelet later.

Looks like you have to be patient regarding the 1036: Prices seem to have risen and if you find regular extension links they are in most cases for the 7 row bors (Yours is 5 row)
You can wait for regular extension links to be offered or you can buy a damaged bracelet and canibalize it.
If this doesn't work you can buy something like this:



This piece doesn't have the regular extension links but you can bend up the 'rice' elements, remove two links and transfer them to your bracelet.

It's a bit tricky but should work (I already did that though being no watchmaker)
