File:The Rockford Files (1974) - Lucien Piccard watch scene.jpg

Summary

Description: The Rockford Files (1974), James Garner as Jim Rockford, gripping a steel fence/gate post with a drawn revolver during the parking-lot ambush/chase sequence in the third-season premiere "The Fourth Man" (S3E1, aired September 24, 1976). This is the same shot setup as the previously cataloged frame (same post, same gun position, same grip on the rail) but is the uncropped, full-resolution production still: it shows more surrounding scene context (the airport parking lot, a truck, and the terminal building behind Rockford) and renders his face and the gun in sharp focus. A steel-cased watch with a round, light (cream/white) dial and dark leather strap is clearly visible, more legibly than in the prior image, on his left wrist as his hand grips the fence rail. IMDb hosts this photo on the dedicated "The Fourth Man" (tt0688067) episode photo gallery (image id rm878198784, 5 of 11), tagged to James Garner and both "The Rockford Files" and "The Fourth Man", an independent, structured episode attribution consistent with Julien's Auctions' estate-consignment identification of the Lucien Piccard as the watch Rockford wears in that episode. As with the prior image, the frame was not independently timestamp-verified against a rewatch of the broadcast episode. The watch is a plain round three-hand case with no chronograph sub-dials or tachymeter bezel, visually distinct from the two-register Heuer Carrera 3647N already illustrated elsewhere on the page.
