No single lighting setup settles that question. Compare multiple controlled angles and describe the visible observation without asserting material specifications that have not been verified.

Case 20 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark
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.

Ask a qualified watchmaker about a suitable test for that individual case and record the test date and method. A photograph or a caseback engraving is not proof of water resistance.
Case 20 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment
Clarification for “Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment”: the point beginning “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…” 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.
