Does he, now? Seems more than a few hairs are out of place and his hair is overall only half combed and he's quite unshaven, by more than a couple of days. And his suit, such as it is, is a good deal ruffled...this was taken during Charlie's heroin and amphetamines days.

And by the look of Bill's hair, that would suggest a Dirty Work sessions era photo.

What strikes me is how different Mick looks.
I won this original press photo on eBay last year! I was amazed to see the black & white 1986 CW album picture (unlike the one below)Quote

Some favorite pics of Mr. Charles Robert Watts:
That is awful! It's very odd as to why they'd use a pic of Watts... did you get your PC fixed?Quote

Hi BeforeTheyMakeMeRun,
It is a beautiful pic of Charlie, and your larger color version is very nice indeed. I decided to do a Bing Image Match search hoping to find a larger version of the B&W. There were a handful of matches. Most were the same size but one was slightly larger. Well, I decided to click on that slightly larger version to download it - BIG MISTAKE! Immediately a bizarre screen appeared supposedly affiliated with the “FBI” stating, “your browser has been blocked up for safety reasons”, “all the information on your PC has been arrested” and” “all your files are encrypted”. According to the page, the reason given for these actions is, “You have been accused of…” and a list of horrible cyber crimes followed which I won’t mention here (and of which I am certainly not guilty). The solution offered to “unblock” the browser and absolve me of all my alleged cyber crimes is to send $300 via Moneypak within 24 hours. NIGHTMARE! All this because I innocently clicked to obtain a slightly larger version of one of my favorite Charlie pics to have and share on this board. I’m perplexed as to why this nefarious entity would use a photo of Charlie Watts in order to lure people into entering their wretched site (you'd think GaGa or Rihanna or countless others would draw more hits). I’m telling you all of this because I don’t want you or anyone else to have an experience like this.
BTW, I did a little photoshopping on your color image to create a larger B&W:
