Method note for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: use “Request open and closed views from both sides,…” 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.
Clarification for “Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance”: the point beginning “Describe whether resistance occurs during winding or setting 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.
Amplitude depends on the movement and measurement setup. Compare it with appropriate specifications and a qualified watchmaker’s assessment; a universal pass/fail threshold would be misleading.
Case 23 — First QC request: the minimum useful information
State the model configuration, the specific concern and links to clear redacted images. Include complete instrument settings where relevant and say explicitly what evidence is missing.
Case 5 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark
A bright line appears in one polished-case image. What additional evidence would distinguish a mark from reflected light?
