Case 61 — Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem · source wording exercise
Summary draft for “Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem”: the answer addresses “Fit often improves by moving one link from the 6 o'clock…”; the related point is “That doesn't change length, but it shifts where the clasp sits…”.

Case 9 — Lume questions: why does my lume fade so quickly, and how should I compare it?
A bright initial glow followed by a steep drop is normal for photoluminescent pigments. Afterglow fades fastest in the first minutes and then settles to a dim, long-lasting level that dark-adapted eyes can still read. The real question is whether it's readable after an hour in darkness, not how it looks right after charging.
