"I have seen that image many times both with and without the second watch. One wonders though, which came first and which was the edited version. There were plenty of people who had incentive to make the Soviets look bad. Most likely the photo was hastily published and then touched up for East-bloc consumption but anything is possible."

You know Jim, I really didn't think about it that way, the watch could certainly have been added to discredit the Soviets. The Cold War gave rise to a lot of dirty tricks on both sides.

The photography lesson was great! Thanks.
