Method note for “Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem”: use “Fit often improves by moving one link from the 6 o'clock…” 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.

Limit of the answer in “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: “Record lug-to-lug and the effective span…” 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 13 — Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions
What belongs in a useful review template when no actual purchase experience is being asserted?
Exercise RWF-28092/13: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 13 — Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph
Clarification for “Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph”: the point beginning “Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately…” 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.
Case 13 — Comparing dial colour under different lighting
State the lighting and white-balance limitations. Compare controlled images where available and avoid calling a colour defect from differently processed photographs.
Clarification for “Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events”: the point beginning “Distinguish label creation from physical acceptance and retain dated…” 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.
Case 15 — Accuracy expectations: is -8 s/d acceptable on an entry-level automatic?
Log the rate over several comparable days, identify the correct specification and state the conditions. Stable and changing patterns raise different questions; a watchmaker can assess whether regulation, inspection or no action is appropriate.
Clarification for “Crystal reflections: why a dark patch is not a coating test”: the point beginning “No single lighting setup settles…” 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.
Case 50 — Comparison thread: 38mm vs 40mm versions of the same field watch, with a dated correction log · source wording exercise
Reader check for “Comparison thread: 38mm vs 40mm versions of the same field watch, with a dated correction log”: distinguish the discussion point “Diameter alone tells you little…” from its proposed application. The thread offers a way to reason about the question, without adding a personal experience or a newly observed outcome. Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 30 — 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.
Clarification for “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: the point beginning “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…” 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.
Reader check for “Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear”: distinguish the discussion point “The core trade-off is scratch resistance…” from its proposed application. The thread offers a way to reason about the question, without adding a personal experience or a newly observed outcome. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 30 — Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph
Only part of the movement is visible and the rotor hides several bridges. Which details can be described without claiming certainty?
Exercise RWF-15901/30: address this question within its stated limits.
Add lug-to-lug, thickness and lug width as separate rows. Diameter alone tells you little about wearability. Two cases 2mm apart in diameter can be within 1mm of each other lug to lug, and that number decides whether the watch overhangs a small wrist. Also give the source for each figure: manufacturer sheet, caliper measurement, or catalogue listing.
Case 13 — Comparison thread: 38mm vs 40mm versions of the same field watch, with a dated correction log
Summary so far. Rows: diameter, lug-to-lug, thickness (method stated), lug width, crystal type, water resistance (as specified), movement family, production period. Each row has a source tag. Corrections go in the dated log with old and new values. If nobody objects, that's the template, and later posts should give evidence rather than restate opinions.
