Clapton / Rolex ???

Has anyone spotted Eric Clapton in that new Verizon commercial sporting a Rolex on his wrist? Looks like it may be a Daytona of course!

Reading older enteries on Jakes blog and discovered Clapton used to own this yact-master prototype from 1969 - almos lost for words but it almost fore-shadows the YM2 with its chrono function.

John Mayer has nothing on Clapton, in both guitar skills and watches.
