I'm close to buying a new Seiko Tuna SBNN017 on a rubber strap and will eventually replace the strap with a bracelet. In the past, I used whatever lug measurement was needed and had no problem with my Seiko Black Monsters, Molarity Diver, and Orient M-Forces, but is this the case with the Tuna or do I need to buy a very specific type of 22mm bracelet?

With some hesitation I say "yes" because, thankfully, it requires a straight end piece to the bracelet.
You should check out yobokies.com. He (Harold) customizes watches, in particular Seikos, and has some bracelets for the Tuna. He's well known in the watch community online and posts at Watchuseek. I'll send you his email address a little later, if you want.

Thanks, Jonny. I think I want this straight edge bracelet on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Oyster-Stainless-Bracelet-Straight-Submariner/dp/B00CW941GG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2ZHBHTI3RIMWF&coliid=I3JB4CEFF5N70G

I guess it's too new to have any reviews. Do you know the country of manufacture?

That's a good choice, Jeff. In fact, I think that's one of the ones yobokies carries. Good, solid clasp. I'd go for it.
This one works as well. Not quite as nice, but still with a good clasp:
