WTB: Extra links for 1153N Gay Freres beads of rice bracelet

I recently purchased an 1153N Carrera with second execution dial on its original Gay Freres 7-link bracelet with HCA end links. The bracelet was sized to a 6-3/4" wrist, too small for my 7-5/8" wrist. I knew this at the time of purchase but decided to proceed anyways since I was able to get a solid price even if I would be unable to wear the bracelet. That said, I'd love to eventually track down some extra links to bring to a watchmaker/jeweler to add to the bracelet so I can wear it. I haven't had any look looking elsewhere unfortunately. I would also be interested in trading with someone who finds themselves in need of a small GF bracelet (I've seen some posts of people in that situation). If anyone has any ideas for sourcing links, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks very much.
