Case 20 — 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.
Limit of the answer in “Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance”: “Stop forcing it and arrange inspection rather than trying…” 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.
Correction note for “Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause”: retain the wording beginning “Record the change and the circumstances without treating…” 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 39 — Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events · source wording exercise
Method note for “Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events”: use “Ask the sender or carrier for clarification; missing scans alone…” 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. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 28 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle
Summary draft for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: the answer addresses “Use the same numeral, camera axis…”; the related point is “Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish…”. 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 30 — Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement
Summary draft for “Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement”: the answer addresses “Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter,…”; the related point is “Avoid forcing an assembly that does not fit and…”. 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 19 — QC photographs: perspective or a genuinely tilted index?
A marker can look tilted when the camera is above the dial axis. What extra image would separate perspective from an assembly issue?
Exercise RWF-18535/19: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 47 — Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause · source wording exercise
A sudden rate change is being attributed to magnetism without a measurement. How should the discussion be structured?
Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase. Use the original answer fragment “A competent watchmaker can test and diagnose it; random adjustment…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.
Exercise RWF-17157/47: address this question within its stated limits.
Limit of the answer in “What a water-resistance claim does and does not establish”: “Ask a qualified watchmaker about a suitable test for that individual…” 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.
State whether thickness includes the highest point of a domed crystal. Different measurement methods can produce different figures, so keep both the source and method beside each dimension.
Case 31 — 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.
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.
Method note for “Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark”: use “Ask for photographs with the light moved 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.
Describe whether resistance occurs during winding or setting and whether the crown engages consistently. Stop forcing it and arrange inspection rather than trying an unverified repair from a thread.
Summary draft for “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: the answer addresses “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…”; the related point is “Leave unsupported fields blank and separate observations from opinions; this…”. 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.
