Case 22 — Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement
Summary draft for “Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement”: the answer addresses “Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter,…”; the related point is “Avoid forcing an assembly that does not fit and…”.

Case 275 — Strap dimensions: lug width, taper, thickness and spring bar diameter explained · reader check exercise

Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. State what a new reader can and cannot infer from this exercise.
Case 18 — Beginner glossary Q&A: complication, caliber, jewel count, power reserve
Jewel count describes bearings used in a movement design; it is not a quality ranking. Compare the documented movement architecture and service support rather than assuming a higher count makes one watch better.
Describe whether resistance occurs during winding or setting and whether the crown engages consistently. Stop forcing it and arrange inspection rather than trying an unverified repair from a thread.
Case 1 — First QC request: the minimum useful information

Case 49 — Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs · source wording exercise
Limit of the answer in “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: “Use a similar camera distance and neutral wrist position; photographs support…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification.
