Seiko V743-8B50
My dad was gifted this used Seiko V743-8B50 and loves it. It's a nice little quartz watch with a sapphire crystal. The problem is it's sized a little tight (micro adjust maxed out) and he doesn't have the extra links. I can't find a replacement bracelet (doesn't have to be OEM) anywhere online. Does anyone have any idea where I could find links or just a bracelet that would fit this discontinued watch? I could put it on a leather strap but he prefers bracelets.

Instead of a bracelet, you could buy a longer clasp to add some length and additional micro-adjustments. It would upgrade the pressed clasp as well.
Something milled like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003594630409.html
Or with a ratcheting on-the-fly extension system great for summer: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005750005217.html

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.

Check out the aliexpress links. You can buy affordable clasps and give it a try. The tolerances aren't super tight but once closed both are solid clasps.
