I have the watch above but need sparesfor the bracelet. A couple of links to extend the bracelet and a clasp.
Tissot replied that no spares for that age watch but for £500-£2000 could sort something! Def not worth that.
I have bought an extending clasp as an interim and fitted it. The watch iscwearable but needs extra links to get a better fit.
I've looked online but no real luck yet. Complete watches but no separate parts.
I might even buy a Seiko off ebay sold for spares that looks like it might have bits that fit.
So, any suggestions?

Spare links for vintage watches are extremely difficult to find.
Sadly your best hope is to trawl ebay. Look for people selling a non working PR516 with your strap and offer them money for a link. It's a search that could take a few years.
I'm in a similar situation with an Omega watch. I can wear it, bit it's a bit snug, especially on a hot summer's day.

Patience is the only answer. Sorry.
