Chinese Corrupted Official accompanying Li Keqiang Took Off His Watch While Visiting Sichuan Earthquake Zone

An M-7.0 earthquake struck Sichuan Province, China, on last Saturday, killing 180+ people and injuring more than 10,000 so far. Thousands of workers, including soldiers, rushed to go to the affected zones in Ya'an, and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang flied to the area to direct the search-and-rescue from Beijing.
Here is the photo of a local official (in white) accompanying Premier Minister Li Keqiang (in black) visited the earthquake zone.

Can you see the secret of this photo? Notice the left wrist of the local official, obviously he took his watch off. See this picture below, he may put it in his left pant pocket:
Why did he take his watch off? The only reasonable reason was that he tried to cover the fact that his watch must be far beyond his affordability and he tried to cover this proof of his corruption. Chinese netizens have found many officials corrupted by checking their watches, which reminded other officials to hide their expensive watches carefully in front of the public.

PS1: Many netizens do find the official's some photos online demonstrating that he wears very expensive watches such as Vacheron Constantin.

PS2: Being different from 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, more people are reluctant to donate this time because of increasing corruptions found, such as the example of this official.
