Clarification for “Crystal reflections: why a dark patch is not a coating test”: the point beginning “No single lighting setup settles…” 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.

Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts and the positions in which it happens. Be honest about the watch and request an assessment before approving work or ordering parts.
Case 9 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Summary draft for “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: the answer addresses “Match reference, dimensions and…”; the related point is “List confirmed differences separately from seller descriptions and date the comparison…”.

Limit of the answer in “Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement”: “Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter,…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification.

Case 27 — Forum comparison archive: link the evidence and the correction
Correction note for “Forum comparison archive: link the evidence and the correction”: retain the wording beginning “Add a dated correction near the original conclusion…” 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.

Case 17 — Maintenance question: how do I tell if an automatic actually needs service?
Keep a baseline log, describe changes in rate or running time and stop forcing rough winding. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance and arrange professional assessment when operation changes. A forum cannot prescribe a universal service interval.
Case 28 — 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.

Case 4 — Crystal reflections: why a dark patch is not a coating test
Summary draft for “Crystal reflections: why a dark patch is not a coating test”: the answer addresses “No single lighting setup settles…”; the related point is “Compare multiple controlled angles and describe the visible observation without asserting…”.

Start with how you measured it. Comparing against a phone clock once a day for a week, at the same time, and noting the offset is reliable enough. One 24-hour reading isn't, because rate depends on wrist time, position overnight and state of wind. Average across several days before deciding anything.
Add a dated correction near the original conclusion and link the new evidence. Preserve the reasoning trail instead of silently replacing an uncertain claim with a confident one.

Method note for “Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause”: use “Record the change and the circumstances without treating…” 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.
