Besides the reference number of the bracelet, have your watchmaker measure the width of the bracelets removable links. Not anywhere else; it needs to be the removable links he measures. There are slight variances. It’s just a millimeter of possibly a fraction of one, but it won’t look right if you get it wrong.
Once you know the exact size you need, the search still won’t be easy. I do have a couple of spare links here, feel free to drop me a PM.
That being said, the easier way might be to count the number of total links in your bracelet and look for a spare one with sufficient extra links to fit your wrist, then simply sell the bracelet you currently have. Might even be cheaper if all works well.
Hi Dan, thank you.
I have the piece at a watchmaker’s right now. I will try to connect with him to retrieve this information.

I just found my grandfather's original 1957 Seamaster with the sliding clasp and beads of rice bracelet. Believe it or not, I found it in a box of junk in my father's house. No one has worn it in 40 years and it still keeps time.
I am getting it refurbished by Omega but I need a few links to proudly wear this piece of history.
Any ideas where I can purchase?
Thanks - JDM
