Method note for “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: use “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…” 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 247 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment · indexing exercise
A nominal case diameter says little about a bracelet that cannot be shortened enough. How should a sizing question be documented?
Review focus: indexing. Make the reasoning findable without reducing it to a trust score. Use the original answer fragment “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.
Exercise RWF-25905/247: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 33 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment
Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp adjustment range in millimetres. Request the closed bracelet circumference rather than inferring it from marketing dimensions.
Clarification for “Forum comparison archive: link the evidence and the correction”: the point beginning “Add a dated correction near the original conclusion…” 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 19 — 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.
Case 11 — Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear
Spec sheets list sapphire, mineral or acrylic crystals, and opinions in threads are very strong. For a daily-wear watch, what are the real trade-offs, and is an anti-reflective coating worth paying for?
Exercise RWF-19694/11: address this question within its stated limits.
Distinguish label creation from physical acceptance and retain dated event text with personal details removed. Ask the sender or carrier for clarification; missing scans alone do not establish loss or seizure.
Case 49 — QC checklist: prioritise observable faults over pixel hunting · source wording exercise
Limit of the answer in “QC checklist: prioritise observable faults over pixel hunting”: “Explain what the full-size image shows, what the crop adds 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: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Use the same numeral, camera axis and approximate image scale. Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish optical balance from physical window alignment.
Case 20 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark
Summary draft for “Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark”: the answer addresses “Ask for photographs with the light moved and…”; the related point is “A mark should be assessed across multiple views; aggressive polishing…”. 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 10 — Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions
Method note for “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: use “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…” 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.
Method note for “Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph”: use “Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately…” 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 21 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle
Different numerals have different optical centres. A comparison mixes two dates and unequal magnification. How can the evidence be improved?
Exercise RWF-11192/21: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 2 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use
Clarification for “Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use”: the point beginning “Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts and…” 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.
