Between planning a Mother's Day party-like occurrence and ranting about horrifying incidents on another continent, I've been attempting to formulate a lame meta/retcon.

Oh totally. It was so very blatant, and so very "WTFWatch???" that it's gotta be, especially since the hand it was on in the ruins was the opposite to the hand Ash wore it on. If Kripke and co didn't plan that deliberately, they have a whole summer of noticing the fans pointing out the production error and making plans around it. I'm betting he shows up and is is some way evil, because after what Kripke did to Ava, Ash would be cake. "Folds like a cheap suit." as Ellen said.
And hey - my mom's had her watch since she was a nurse and that was over forty years ago so - i can see John having the same watch for years and years.
Yeah, but it looked like it was in awfully good condition for the number of scraps with assorted entities John's likely been in. Unless he's in the habit of taking off his watch before he goes toe-to-toe with a werewolf or whatever. :-)
I wish that the props/costume people would be more observent, though - what ever happened to the ball chain *dog tag chain* we could just glimpse under Dean's shirt in...ummm...oh hell. The ep where Sam buries the dog tags?
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. Jensen Ackles was wearing the exact same clothes and necklace, minus the amulet, to some kind of presentation thing around the same time period as they would have been filming, so I don't know if it was supposed to be part of the costume or not. Either that or they were so pressed for time they stuffed him on the plane without letting him change out of costume, because if I recall, the pants were a bit dusty like he'd been kneeling down in dirt (at the graveyard) and he had those boots. It's definitely something to ponder to try and fit into the character though. :-)
Interesting post!
Thank you! :-)

I dunno 'bout the watch thing - the boys and John are oddly scar-free, so i kind of think that he doesn't get toasted on a regular basis. Plus, i wear rings on every finger of my left hand, and have for *years*. Never take them off, and i go camping and such. They're fine. So if you're careful... Maybe he's had to replace the band a few times...
Huh, didn't know that about the clothes - i don't pay a lot of attention to the 'real life' side of things. Interesting... I want him to have been wearing John's *other* set of dog tags, since they give you two...
:)
