Case 65 — Strap dimensions: lug width, taper, thickness and spring bar diameter explained · source wording exercise
Correction note for “Strap dimensions: lug width, taper, thickness and spring bar diameter explained”: retain the wording beginning “Measure with a ruler marked in millimetres, ideally…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Method note for “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: use “Match reference, dimensions and…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
The lift angle must match the movement specification for the amplitude reading to be meaningful. If it is unknown, label amplitude as provisional instead of accepting the instrument default.
Method note for “Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context”: use “A single number cannot establish service condition, movement identity…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Clarification for “First QC request: the minimum useful information”: the point beginning “Include complete instrument settings where relevant and say…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 16 — Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions

Case 2 — QC photographs: perspective or a genuinely tilted index?
Request a level straight-on image with the hands clear of the marker. Compare two independently aligned images before drawing a conclusion; an overlay cannot correct an oblique camera angle.
Case 6 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
Clarification for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: the point beginning “Request open and closed views from both sides,…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 16 — Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph
Correction note for “Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph”: retain the wording beginning “Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Clarification for “Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph”: the point beginning “Ask a qualified watchmaker to inspect it if identification matters for…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Reader check for “Crystal reflections: why a dark patch is not a coating test”: distinguish the discussion point “No single lighting setup settles…” from its proposed application. The thread offers a way to reason about the question, without adding a personal experience or a newly observed outcome. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 30 — Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance
Method note for “Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance”: use “Describe whether resistance occurs during winding or setting and…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 30 — QC checklist: prioritise observable faults over pixel hunting
Limit of the answer in “QC checklist: prioritise observable faults over pixel hunting”: “Start with function, legibility, assembly and…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification. A reader needs the relevant original material before treating an interpretation as established. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp adjustment range in millimetres. Request the closed bracelet circumference rather than inferring it from marketing dimensions.
