Case 37 — QC photographs: perspective or a genuinely tilted index? · source wording exercise
Correction note for “QC photographs: perspective or a genuinely tilted index?”: retain the wording beginning “Compare two independently aligned images before drawing a conclusion; an overlay…” 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. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 16 — Accuracy expectations: is -8 s/d acceptable on an entry-level automatic?
Compare the observed rate with the exact caliber and cased-watch specification, if available. An example such as -8 seconds per day cannot be declared acceptable solely from its price category.
Case 40 — First QC request: the minimum useful information · source wording exercise
Correction note for “First QC request: the minimum useful information”: retain the wording beginning “Include complete instrument settings where relevant and say…” 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. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Summary draft for “Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use”: the answer addresses “Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts and…”; the related point is “Be honest about the watch and request an assessment…”. 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 1 — Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context
Correction note for “Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context”: retain the wording beginning “Keep the complete recording and ask for the…” 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.
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.
Status for now: unresolved. The claim is plausible, but no controlled comparison has been posted. Until one appears, describe it as 'reported, not verified'. When someone posts a same-frame, grey-card comparison under two lighting conditions, the thread can update the status with a date and a link to that post.
Ask for photographs with the light moved and retain the same viewing angle. A mark should be assessed across multiple views; aggressive polishing is not an appropriate diagnostic test.
Case 2 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
Correction note for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: retain the wording beginning “Request open and closed views from both sides,…” 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 38 — Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance · source wording exercise
Correction note for “Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance”: retain the wording beginning “Stop forcing it and arrange inspection rather than trying…” 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. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 18 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
Correction note for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: retain the wording beginning “Request open and closed views from both sides,…” 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.
Reader check for “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: distinguish the discussion point “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…” 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 27 — Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent
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.
Case 31 — Comparison thread: 38mm vs 40mm versions of the same field watch, with a dated correction log
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.
Clarification for “QC photography: what photos actually help verify a pre-owned listing?”: the point beginning “Ask for a straight-on dial photo with diffuse light and no…” 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.
