Typically the expensive part is the deployant clasp (i.e. the folding mechanism). That's not to say that the straps themselves aren't also expensive, but I bet that 50% of that cost at least is the deployant.
Ouch
Cool; will you get it? It would be a big step up from all others.
Im not convince with that price for just strap plus the risk of fitting problems due to different codes. Unfortunately bcoz its special order TH wont issue a refund if problem occurs. I would take the risk if less than 500$aud.

Was the strap really AUD960 or did that include the deployant clasp? I just can't fathom the strap alone costing that much.
According to AD its just the leather strap only as per TH email. Even the manager was surprised with that price.
Something is going on with that price. Because we're talking about the Heuer-02t leather strap, I could imagine that there is a premium pricing because it may be better quality leather (fair enough- $5k watch vs. $15k watch...you'd expect better leather)...and maybe another premium because they don't want to encourage Heuer-01 owners to pimp their watches with the look of the more expensive model?

I asked about it in my local TH boutique and the price is about the same. Leather only. My master plan is officially ruined.
Haha. Same here. I just can't drop that amount for just a strap. My plan B is to change my cal36 flyback strap to cal1887 racing edition and manager said to me it will cost me about 650$aud but to be confirmed today.

OK, I just got these prices (AUD) from a contact at my local boutique:
FC6325 (Cal 36 Racing) - $445
FC6377 (H02T) - $620
FC6237 (Cal 1887 Racing) - $445.
The first and third are exactly what I would have expected. The second seems more plausible given David's comments above about better leather and exclusivity for the 02T.
