Case 35 — Beginner glossary Q&A: complication, caliber, jewel count, power reserve
Caliber is the movement's model designation, like a part number. Two watches from different brands can share the same caliber family with different finishing or regulation. On a spec sheet it tells you what's inside and roughly what service parts are available. It doesn't tell you how well that particular example was adjusted.
Case 39 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark · source wording exercise
A bright line appears in one polished-case image. What additional evidence would distinguish a mark from reflected light?
Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase. Use the original answer fragment “A mark should be assessed across multiple views; aggressive polishing…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.

Case 36 — QC photography: what photos actually help verify a pre-owned listing?
Proposed reusable request list. 1) Straight dial, diffuse light, hands clear of markers. 2) Both case profiles. 3) Lug tops at an angle. 4) Caseback and engravings. 5) Clasp and bracelet end links. 6) Dated note in frame. Optional: timegrapher reading or movement photos. Add or change items with a reason, and I'll keep the list current.
Case 27 — Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context
Keep the complete recording and ask for the settings, winding state and position. A single number cannot establish service condition, movement identity or performance on a wrist.
Case 7 — Forum comparison archive: link the evidence and the correction
A comparison has been corrected after a new photograph arrived. How should the original thread remain useful?

Case 31 — Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address
Correction note for “Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address”: retain the wording beginning “Photograph the item and protective packing…” 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 6 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
Clarification for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: the point beginning “Request open and closed views from both sides,…” 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.
Keep the date, work performed, provider invoice reference and test results where available. Redact addresses and payment information; do not invent service events to fill an empty history.
Case 32 — What a water-resistance claim does and does not establish
A listing describes a water-resistance rating but provides no test record for the individual watch. What evidence would address the gap?

Case 3 — 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 “Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent”: use “Treat the comparison…” 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.
Separate three properties: click count (60 or 120 positions), feel (how firm each click is, and whether there's back-play), and alignment (whether the pip lines up with the 12 o'clock marker at rest). Crisp vs mushy is mostly about feel and back-play. Alignment can be measured, so treat it separately.
