Black bay 58 blue with blue chomalite lume wow

Is this the only bb58 in the world with blue chomalite lume?saw some dudes video bark and Jack and this is really very strange.also his black bay has dark steel aswell and its definitely not the lighting it's legit dark.so how has he got a bb58 with blue lume?is there anyone else that owns a black bay 58 that has the same lume as a rolex submariner
Not gonna lie the blue lume on his blue 58 looks nicer than the green superluminova that100 percent of blackbays I've seen

Don't worry it's just the colourbalance that's off from the camera. When I take a picture on my phone camera it comes out blue too

I've just seen the video - this happens only when lit under an blacklight / UV light. Don't have one near me to test :)

No, what? Lol? Why?

I don't know why he's using a blacklight, maybe it's easier than charging up lume for making photos/videos - I also had no idea that lume could show a different colour under blacklight :)

It's weird because if you say charging it under a black light does this why are both watches not looking blue?the watch on the right the lume clearly looks normal.anyway I also have no idea about how camera settings and backlighting works

On direct exposure of my green lume MG to an UV light it looks blue, so that effect is possible

BB58s lume on the newer models will turn blue under a black light. Rolex would never give up chromalight colors to tudor.
