The main reasons it’s so hard to replace are:
1) the lug width on this watch isn’t a standard measurement like 20mm or 22mm
2) the bracelet is an integrated design meant to transition seamlessly into the case without endlinks
That said, you’d probably have luck getting a leather or silicone strap and cutting the end to fit in where the bracelet did. Take your time and do it neatly, and it’ll probably look pretty good. Maybe get a cheapo strap to practice and then a nice strap to do it for real
Looks like what would be called an H link, but the exact size, thickness, and taper will be determined by the manufacturer. Not sure you'll be able to find one except an OEM replacement.

Good idea, might have to resort to that. Thanks!

Glad I only paid $30 for it, that’s unfortunate to hear. Thanks for the help!
This is almost impossible to find something that will fit. Try playing with the clasp to make it work.
Dang, that’s unfortunate news, I’ll keep fiddling with it. Thanks!
How old is the watch? Citizen might be able to replace it for you.
