Sourcing 1970s Bracelet for Constellation Megasonic ST 198.0047/398.0819

New to the forum, & was wondering if anybody knows whether Omega or another vendor still stocks complete bracelets for 1970s models like my Constellation Megasonic ST 198.0047/ 398.0819 (as depicted in my avatar & on Omega's web site here: https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-constellation-electronic-st-398-0819 ). I bought the watch several years ago off eBay & the movement has been working fine, but 2 links on the bracelet have come apart due to total corrosion/disintegration of the connecting spring bars.

Per this post by Tom Dick (and Harry), https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-bracelet-rebuilding-not-for-the-faint-hearted.17888/, bracelet parts seem to have been available in 2014, but perhaps it would be better to simply replace the entire bracelet, if possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice or information, Chris

Thanks, had already emailed Omega, but decided to post here in the meantime.

Actually, you'd be better off having a local jeweler or watchmaker call them. While they will talk to the average person they prefer not to, at least they didn't in the past when I'd called.

An update: to my surprise, given the generally less than positive reputation of Swatch Group customer service, the Spare Parts Department did respond to my email inquiry. After further email exchanges & phone conversations to clarify the bracelet part number, I put in an order for the bracelet (on back order, unfortunately).
