I know this is just too fuzzy to tell, but just for fun: I was going through some photos with Castro and Yuri Gagarin and upon seeing a watch, I naturally enhanced...

My first guess is an Omega Piepan! Anyone with other thoughts? 😜

Even the lugs seem to match the profile. Though, it does seem a bit small. Could just be his beefy wrists.

Can totally see those lug facets.
Beyond the pixelation, I'd reckon it is a piepan too. 🤪

Here is a close-up.

Definitely not an Omega or a Rolex. My best guess is an old Buren. Here is a close up of an Old Buren from early 60’s. See the similarity??

😁

I'm fairly certain this rules it out as a Buren. I'm still going with a Piepan.

My bad. Didn’t notice that at all. Embarressing really 😬
