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.

I think Patriarch Kirill I keeps a different kind of 'grail' list.

Someone needs to let Kirill know how much money and bad publicity he could have saved if he'd bought a CW.

I wouldn't be surprised if the part of Patriarch's story that was true was the part about not buying it... I wonder how many years of purgatory you can get yourself out of by donating such a fine timepiece to the Church.

If it exists, that's a large $30,000 gamble!

He should have just got a nice vostok amphibia off the bay for 50 quid. Being Russian he wouldnt have even had to pay import tax
