Case 11 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Summary draft for “Comparing versions without mixing case sizes”: the answer addresses “Match reference, dimensions and…”; the related point is “List confirmed differences separately from seller descriptions and date the comparison…”. 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.
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.
Clarification for “Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause”: the point beginning “Record the change and the circumstances without treating…” 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.
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.
Method note for “A maintenance log that remains useful after a sale”: use “Keep the date, work performed, provider invoice reference…” 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.
The calendar interval is a conservative default, not a rule. Useful signs, in rough order of seriousness: power reserve noticeably shorter than spec from full wind, rate drifting outside its usual range, the watch stopping on the wrist, gritty or rough winding, and the date changing slowly or late.
Case 23 — First QC request: the minimum useful information
Limit of the answer in “First QC request: the minimum useful information”: “State the model configuration, the specific concern 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: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 5 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark
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.
