Case 24 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Limit of the answer in “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: “Match reference, dimensions 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.
Limit of the answer in “Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem”: “First, a clarifying question: how many links are on each…” 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 43 — Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs · source wording exercise
Summary draft for “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: the answer addresses “Use a similar camera distance and neutral wrist position; photographs support…”; the related point is “Record lug-to-lug and the effective span…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 32 — Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem
Micro-adjust spacing varies by clasp. Measure the actual change at each setting rather than assuming a standard number of millimetres; compare the usable range with the link length.
Case 24 — Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent
Correction note for “Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent”: retain the wording beginning “Treat the comparison…” 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 24 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Method note for “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: use “Match reference, dimensions and…” 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 29 — Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent
Correction note for “Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent”: retain the wording beginning “Treat the comparison…” 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 — Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph
Limit of the answer in “Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph”: “Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately…” 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.
On alignment, a clarifying point: is the misalignment visible straight on, or only from an angle? Parallax on a raised bezel can make a perfectly aligned pip look half a click off when viewed slightly from the side. Photograph straight above the dial before calling it misaligned.
Case 28 — Disputed observation: is this dial colour shift real or just lighting?
Something to keep apart: sunburst and gradient dials can look like different colours depending on viewing angle, even on the same piece. A shift that appears only at certain angles is a finish effect, not a batch difference. Include a straight-on shot and one tilted shot so readers can tell the two apart.
Case 15 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use
Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts and the positions in which it happens. Be honest about the watch and request an assessment before approving work or ordering parts.
Micro-adjust spacing varies by clasp. Measure the actual change at each setting rather than assuming a standard number of millimetres; compare the usable range with the link length.
Case 12 — 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.
Case 23 — Comparing dial colour under different lighting
Correction note for “Comparing dial colour under different lighting”: retain the wording beginning “State the lighting 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.
Clarification for “Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context”: the point beginning “Keep the complete recording and ask for the…” 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: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
