Summary. Pick sapphire for scratch resistance in low-impact use, acrylic for impact tolerance and easy polishing, and mineral as a low-cost middle option. Prefer inner-surface AR if you're worried about wear. Look at crystal profile when comparing thickness. Choose by how you'll use the watch, not by the material label.
Case 17 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
Method note for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: use “Request open and closed views from both sides,…” 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.
Correction note for “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: retain the wording beginning “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…” 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 23 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use
Limit of the answer in “Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use”: “Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts 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.
Case 36 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
The available image hides the hinge and only shows the outer surface. Which additional views would answer the question?
Exercise RWF-11911/36: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 12 — Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement
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 59 — Comparing dial colour under different lighting · source wording exercise
One image was taken beside a window and the other under a warm lamp. How should a colour comparison be qualified?
Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase. Use the original answer fragment “Compare controlled images where available and avoid calling a…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.
Exercise RWF-09543/59: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 26 — QC checklist: prioritise observable faults over pixel hunting
Summary draft for “QC checklist: prioritise observable faults over pixel hunting”: the answer addresses “Start with function, legibility, assembly and…”; the related point is “Explain what the full-size image shows, what the crop adds and…”. 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.
Case 15 — First QC request: the minimum useful information
State the model configuration, the specific concern and links to clear redacted images. Include complete instrument settings where relevant and say explicitly what evidence is missing.
Case 20 — 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.
Method note for “Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context”: use “Keep the complete recording and ask for the…” 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 2 — Comparing dial colour under different lighting
Summary draft for “Comparing dial colour under different lighting”: the answer addresses “State the lighting and…”; the related point is “Compare controlled images where available and avoid calling a…”. 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.
Clarification for “Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance”: the point beginning “Describe whether resistance occurs during winding or setting 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.
