Case 10 — Strap dimensions: lug width, taper, thickness and spring bar diameter explained
I want to buy aftermarket straps but keep seeing 20/16, 22mm, 4mm thick and spring bar sizes. Which measurements do I actually need to take from my watch, and how do I measure them without the right tools?

Optional: timegrapher reading or movement photos. Add or change items with a reason, and I'll keep the list current.
Case 42 — Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events · source wording exercise
Summary draft for “Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events”: the answer addresses “Ask the sender or carrier for clarification; missing scans alone…”; the related point is “Distinguish label creation from physical acceptance and retain dated…”.

Case 14 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
Request open and closed views from both sides, with the watch supported safely. Separate cosmetic alignment from whether the clasp engages reliably; functional concerns need hands-on inspection.
