Start with function, legibility, assembly and clear visible damage. Explain what the full-size image shows, what the crop adds and what remains uncertain; do not turn an overlay into an automatic verdict.

Case 35 — A maintenance log that remains useful after a sale
Which information should a transferable maintenance log retain while protecting the owner’s identity?
Exercise RWF-28618/35: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 32 — Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions
What belongs in a useful review template when no actual purchase experience is being asserted?
Exercise RWF-27713/32: address this question within its stated limits.
Compare the observed rate with the exact caliber and cased-watch specification, if available. An example such as -8 seconds per day cannot be declared acceptable solely from its price category.
Reader check for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: distinguish the discussion point “Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish…” 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.
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.

Case 16 — QC checklist: prioritise observable faults over pixel hunting
Start with function, legibility, assembly and clear visible damage. Explain what the full-size image shows, what the crop adds and what remains uncertain; do not turn an overlay into an automatic verdict.
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.
Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter, shoulder position and strap thickness. Avoid forcing an assembly that does not fit and let a watchmaker check uncertain clearances.
Case 22 — Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph
Clarification for “Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph”: the point beginning “Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately…” 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 34 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Correction note for “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: retain the wording beginning “Match reference, dimensions and…” 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 10 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use
Summary draft for “Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use”: the answer addresses “Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts and…”; the related point is “Be honest about the watch and request an assessment…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
