Best guess, based on frequency it appears in Google image search, is this bracelet as shown at https://item.rakuten.co.jp/berich0112/ht1654/

You are fighting an uphill battle for this bracelet.

The design pattern is

- buy a vintage Grand Seiko or King Seiko
- buy a mid-tier vintage Seiko with a compatible bracelet (e.g. GQ, LM, Silverwave)
- salvage the bracelet for your GS/KS
- dump the mid-tier Seiko on eBay

Best of luck!

I need 20 cm

I'm also 20cm. Realistically, your can either buy up multiple vintage bracelets to combine into one, or move on, say, to contemporary reproductions. If you're enamored with this watch and must have the original bracelet, you might consider buying both the watches @zoohannover posted above
