Fluorescent Rolex
I just bought a Rolex Milgauss which has been designed by pop art artist Tomyboy. It's the first fluorescent Rolex world wide. He designed these watches as an hommage to Rolex's 110 year anniversary in 2015. What fascinates me is that even the crown in fluorescent pink illuminates when its hit by black light. The watch is limited to 25 pieces at 25k a piece. I was somehow lucky to get one, since he's selling them to celebrities sport stars etc...
What do you guys think and what is your opinion on this art piece? |

Welcome to TRF. That is one crazy watch and 25k is one crazy price. I'm glad you love it because that is all that matters. I would like to see a photo of it under black light if that's possible.
I'm also afraid to say that I have no idea who TomyBoy is. Where would he be famous around the world? Even doing a google search I can't find anything on this.

Certainly a show stopper but I think at that price point it should look better than mine.
 I see some tears.  Welcome to TRF.

Blaken is the company and the artist is known as Rocketbyz. His Instagram art is exactly like the watch.
I'm not familiar with the company or artist and searching took a little effort to find this watch here https://www.blaken.com/en/limited/rocketbyz |
