He's THE Celebrity Rolex WIS.

Anyone got a pic of him with the Milgauss GV? It's a cool pic!

Eric Clapton can do anything He wants to do!
Actually, I remember seeing old footage of him wearing a similar-looking watch on a leather strap while playing with Cream. Anything you've done over a period of 40 years can't be considered "trendy"!

Having heard him play on several occasions He can wear what he likes!!

Anybody got any ideas whats in the collection (apart from everything)

You could be right Chris after all if they name a watch after you, nothing like advertising it and watching the royalties roll in! That may sound harsh but its JEALOUSY!!!!

I think it's so cool that he is or seems to be a WIS or perhaps RIS is more appropriate. I know he got 505K for his Albino.

While he may be rich and he may be famous, I for one would never, ever want to be in his shoes. I recall when his son fell out of a NYC apartment window. As a father, I would wish him all the happiness in the world after that and it still wouldn't be enough.

losing a child would have to be the worst experience possible. (not knowing from personal experience - but I have a friend who has been there).
