Doug Martin, better known as FaZe Censor, marked a significant personal milestone by purchasing two Rolex Submariners simultaneously — a move that signals a serious commitment to horology rather than a casual impulse buy. The photo, shared on social media, shows both watches presented in their iconic green Rolex boxes, a moment that resonates with any collector who remembers their first acquisition from the crown.

The 116613LB — the 'Bluesy' — is one of the most coveted two-tone references in the modern Rolex catalogue. Its 40mm Oystersteel and 18ct yellow gold Oyster case is paired with a unidirectional rotating Cerachrom bezel in blue ceramic, introduced with the ref. 116613LB to replace the aluminium insert of its predecessor. The sunburst blue dial features applied yellow gold hour markers and Mercedes hands, with a cyclops-magnified date window at 3 o'clock. Power comes from the in-house calibre 3135, a self-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve, Parachrom hairspring, and COSC-exceeding precision. Water resistance is rated to 300 metres.

The companion piece, the 116610LN, is arguably the purest expression of the Submariner concept. All-stainless Oystersteel construction, black Cerachrom bezel insert, black dial with white luminescent Chromalight markers — this is the reference that defined the modern professional dive watch standard. The same calibre 3135 beats inside, ensuring identical timekeeping performance. It was introduced in 2010 as part of the generation that fully adopted ceramic bezels across the Submariner family, replacing the long-running 16610.

For a collector entering the market with two references rather than one, the pairing of 116613LB and 116610LN demonstrates sound instinct. The two-tone offers versatility for dressier occasions; the all-steel remains the go-to daily wearer. Together they cover the full spectrum of what the Submariner family offers without redundancy.

On the grey market at the time of this sighting, both references commanded significant premiums over retail, with the two-tone 116613LB particularly sought after. FaZe Censor's audience demographic — young, aspirational, digitally native — makes this sighting culturally relevant beyond the watch community itself.
