Watches
- Unidentified watch
- Worn by James Garner as Pete Aron. Pete Aron wears a steel-cased wristwatch with a white dial on a black leather strap with a steel single-prong buckle. BAMF Style deduces from the single crown (no chronograph pushers) that this is not James Garner's own Heuer Carrera 3647N racing chronograph, the black-dialed watch he would wear years later on The Rockford Files and which the site suggests he began wearing around this period; a companion BAMF Style post covering a different scene's outfit mislabels the same watch as the Carrera 3647N in its itemized wardrobe list, contradicting the site's own dial analysis, so the identification here follows the reasoned deduction rather than that later listing.
