And THIS dial shows how quickly your credibility is running out.
Facing a scandal over photographs of its leader wearing an enormously expensive watch, the Russian Orthodox Church worked a little miracle: It made the offending timepiece disappear.
Editors doctored a photograph on the church’s Web site of the leader, Patriarch Kirill I, extending a black sleeve where there once appeared to be a Breguet timepiece worth at least $30,000. The church might have gotten away with the ruse if it had not failed to also erase the watch’s reflection, which appeared in the photo on the highly glossed table where the patriarch was seated.
Nice to have confirmation that the Orthodox clergy are just as mendacious and self-serving as their Western brethren.

If he could afford the Breguet watch surely he could have paid for a better Photoshop technician! That says more about his greed than possession of the watch itself!
Alternatively, the story could rival the Turin Shroud in years to come!
