I'm sure Joe at Anglesea Watch & Clock could supply some.

If it's the two bars that attach the strap to either side of the watch case, then they are more correctly called 'spring bars' (I'm not correcting you so as to be a smart a*se - more because it'll make it easier for you to search/find them under the correct terminology).

You can buy a supply of more than you'll ever need here for a couple of quid: https://m.cousinsuk.com/category/watch-straps-brac... or on Amazon etc.

Pick the beefiest ones you can get away with - up to 2mm (and remember to order them in the correct lug length - that is, the distance between your two lugs protruding from the case - and of course check the diameter of the holes on your bracelet).

To be honest, any half-decent high street jeweller should have a supply of them, but they cost buttons, so maybe see if you can find a friendly one to supply a couple FOC, or some kind soul on here might even have some spares to send you.

You may find a spring bar tool helpful to fit them properly (if you want to avoid scratching the crap out of your watch - check online for demo videos).
