milligram for milligram that pearl must be the most expensive thing on the planet.

Don't sneeze.

I saw a luminova genuine pearl go for $100 recently, so seeing the tritium pearls going for ridiculous amounts doesn't shock me. I will never understand the rolex parts market.

I think it is simple supply & demand. There is a finite (and shrinking) supply of vintage Rolex parts & an ever-growing demand for that finite supply. Add to this the fact that Rolex no longer provides retail distribution channels for current parts (until the early 90s, most ADs sold Rolex parts 'over-the-counter') & you see the crazy price ranges we see today.
