Summary draft for “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: the answer addresses “Record lug-to-lug and the effective span…”; the related point is “Use a similar camera distance and neutral wrist position; photographs support…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 13 — Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions

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.

Case 13 — 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.

Case 13 — Comparing dial colour under different lighting

Method note for “Comparing dial colour under different lighting”: use “State the lighting 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.

Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated communications, delivery evidence and resolution. Leave unsupported fields blank and separate observations from opinions; this reference is not a seller endorsement.

Case 16 — Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear

The core trade-off is scratch resistance versus shatter resistance. Sapphire is very hard to scratch but can chip or crack from a sharp impact on an edge. Acrylic scratches easily but flexes, rarely shatters, and light scratches can be polished out at home. Mineral glass sits in between and is often the cheapest to replace.

Case 51 — Beginner glossary Q&A: complication, caliber, jewel count, power reserve · source wording exercise

Clarification for “Beginner glossary Q&A: complication, caliber, jewel count, power reserve”: the point beginning “Two watches from different brands can share the same caliber…” 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.

Case 31 — Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events

A tracking page has no new event after a label was created. How can the timeline be discussed without inventing a carrier explanation?

Exercise RWF-19469/31: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 30 — 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 14 — 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.

Use a correction row with date, old value, revised value and evidence. A worked example could change a lug-width entry from 20 to 22 mm; do not present that example as a correction to a real model.

Case 27 — Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem

A correction to a common assumption: a slightly loose fit isn't automatically wrong. Heavier heads tend to slide on loose bracelets, but a lighter watch often wears comfortably with a finger's width of space. Try 'loose' for a full day before deciding it doesn't work. Comfort over hours tells you more than the first minute.

Case 3 — Crystal reflections: why a dark patch is not a coating test

A dark area appears at an oblique angle in a single photograph. Does that establish a coating difference?

Exercise RWF-09752/3: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 6 — Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear

A correction worth making: 'sapphire = premium, mineral = cheap' oversimplifies it. A well-fitted mineral crystal on a modest watch can be perfectly suitable, and replacing a cracked sapphire is usually more expensive. Material is one factor among several, alongside fit, gasket quality and coating.

Clarification for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: the point beginning “Use the same numeral, camera axis…” 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.
