Anybody watch the Blue Jays game last night?

They broadcasted Cito Gaston's farewell ceremony at the Roger's Centre last night. The entire Blue Jays team pitched in and presented Cito with a new Rolex watch, but when he opened the large green box he did not show it to the cameras. Anyone here know which watch Cito received?

I did see that. I am guessing they probably gave him a gold watch which symbolizes retirement. Most likely a classic like the day date.

I also noticed that his green box was significantly larger than the box I received my GMT IIc in.

My AD gave me the large green box for my GMT IIC. Is this the right box?

I caught the replay on sportcenter this morning and it was definitely a bigger box and I could make out that it was an all 18k yellow gold watch. My guess would be a DD or DJ.

Anyone know for sure?

Yep, Cito is retiring this weekend and that was his gift from the club ~ not bad at
all! Big wide box did make me wonder as it was on a gold bracelet but did not see the
face of the watch from my tivo recording.

Does the DD with President's bracelet usually come in a larger box?
