Method note for “Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear”: use “The core trade-off is scratch resistance…” as a row heading in a proposed working record.

State the lighting and white-balance limitations. Compare controlled images where available and avoid calling a colour defect from differently processed photographs.
On anti-reflective coatings: inner-surface AR cuts glare without wear concerns. Outer-surface AR improves legibility further but can scuff over time, and the scuffs show up as hazy patches in certain light. When comparing two watches, check which surfaces are coated. Spec sheets often just say 'AR coated' without saying where.
Case 40 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use · source wording exercise

Ask a qualified watchmaker about a suitable test for that individual case and record the test date and method. A photograph or a caseback engraving is not proof of water resistance.
