Case 25 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Clarification for “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: the point beginning “Match reference, dimensions and…” 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.
Log the rate over several comparable days, identify the correct specification and state the conditions. Stable and changing patterns raise different questions; a watchmaker can assess whether regulation, inspection or no action is appropriate.
Case 46 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment · source wording exercise
Method note for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: use “Separate cosmetic alignment from whether the clasp engages reliably;…” 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.
Case 120 — Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance · documentation exercise
Correction note for “Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance”: retain the wording beginning “Stop forcing it and arrange inspection rather than trying…” 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. Distinguish an original record from a proposed record format.
Case 23 — Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause
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.
Case 18 — Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause
Limit of the answer in “Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause”: “Record the change and the circumstances without treating…” 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.
Clarification for “First QC request: the minimum useful information”: the point beginning “State the model configuration, the specific concern and…” 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.
Can the same settings and winding state be used for several positions? Record each position separately rather than combining measurements taken under different conditions.
Case 31 — QC photography: what photos actually help verify a pre-owned listing?
A dated note in the frame can support a claim that photographs are recent, but it is not conclusive proof of ownership, authenticity or an honest transaction. Treat it as one limited check alongside independent verification.
Case 36 — Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events
Limit of the answer in “Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events”: “Distinguish label creation from physical acceptance and retain dated…” 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.
Limit of the answer in “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: “Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish…” 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.
Case 28 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle
Correction note for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: retain the wording beginning “Use the same numeral, camera axis…” 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.
Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately from the proposed identification. Ask a qualified watchmaker to inspect it if identification matters for servicing; do not open the case merely for a forum answer.
Case 24 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment
Correction note for “Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment”: retain the wording beginning “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…” 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 34 — 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.
