Did Indy wear a watch?

I was watching the making of Raiders the other day and theres a part where SS is walking HF through the scene where Indy ducks into Belloq's tent finding Marion and I noticed HF was wearing a watch that perhaps could fit the period of Raiders. Now, I know that since they were on tight schedules HF may have had the watch on to keep track of when he was needed but I guess it's possible he could have had it on as part of his wardrobe for his upcoming scenes. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen any pics from Raiders with HF wearing a watch while in complete costume or perhaps noticed it in the film?

Agent5, I had just posted in another thread due to reading through a book that I'm not finished with yet. But I don't think it's related to this thread in that it had nothing to do with the films.

Good eye Agent 5. If you look closely in the movie Spartacus some of the Trojan Army were caught on film wearing watches. (USC extras) Marlon Brando in Superman as Jor-El is filmed wearing his Rolex timepiece. I believe its when Krypton is crumbling.
In Mystery of the Blues, Harrison Ford has a phone on his belt when he's getting out of the truck in the 1952 sequence of the Young Indiana Jones Series. I believe it was an accidental caught on film coincidence.

Good eye, Agent5. I noticed the same thing the other day. It was a silver watch with a white dial.

Actually, in MoftheBlues, Ford was carrying a WWII/Korean era walkie/talkie in the shots. MAN I wish they'd flesh out that storyline. Regards. Michaelson
