Do you mean original strap?
One in good condition surely won't be easy to find.
If you want to go aftermarket , then it's a different story. Omega replica buckle can be had for around $10 in my neighbourhood.
These straps roughly cost $13 each

welcome @Dylan Carrick
as others have said - you need 200 (meaningful) posts to post a WTB add.
(The private sales corner and WTB section are an add-on to what is essentially a discussion forum - and the 200 rule is to protect the Forum from fly-by-nights, dealers and scammers)
Now if only you had said something like:
"Hello, I'm Dylan' I've just joined the forum and I have XXX Omega watch and I'm looking for a vintage strap for it - anyone know where I might get one?"
adding a pic of watch (and buckle) you might have got away with it......
BTW - you also need be more specific
18/16mm or 18/18mm? (lug/buckle)
But as @Eclipse39 says, original straps are hard to come by, expensive, often very brittle and (I'm told) even unused, can be smelly. (something to do with the animal glue used?)
Better to choose a new period-correct looking strap of your liking (and watch-style correct of course) and stick your Omega buckle on it.
Now then - where are those pictures?

Promoting counterfeit parts isn’t a particularly popular route on the forum.

·Hello Dylan, and welcome to OF 😁
I won't go over the do's and don'ts - they have been covered above.
As you already have an Omega buckle (I assume it is the correct one), I'd go with what @Peemacgee has suggested and just buy a new, period-correct strap.
If you do a quick search on the forum, there are plenty of posts recommending different retailers for straps and just pick what you think will suit your watch. You should be able to replace the buckle that comes with it with your original 👍
I'm building up quite a few sellers added to my favorites simply due to recommendations from fellow OF members.
