Case 17 — Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions
Limit of the answer in “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…” 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 30 — Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address
Method note for “Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address”: use “Photograph the item and protective packing…” 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 103 — Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear · comparison exercise
Reader check for “Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear”: distinguish the discussion point “Acrylic scratches easily but flexes, rarely shatters, and light scratches…” from its proposed application. The thread offers a way to reason about the question, without adding a personal experience or a newly observed outcome. Review focus: comparison. Make the basis of a comparison explicit before interpreting it.
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.
Case 2 — First QC request: the minimum useful information
What should an initial QC request include so replies can address the actual question?
Exercise RWF-25919/2: address this question within its stated limits.
Clarification for “Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events”: the point beginning “Distinguish label creation from physical acceptance and retain dated…” 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 — Model comparison: dive bezel action and alignment, how to compare fairly
Separate three properties: click count (60 or 120 positions), feel (how firm each click is, and whether there's back-play), and alignment (whether the pip lines up with the 12 o'clock marker at rest). Crisp vs mushy is mostly about feel and back-play. Alignment can be measured, so treat it separately.
Case 20 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use
Method note for “Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use”: use “Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts 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.
Correction note for “Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem”: retain the wording beginning “First, a clarifying question: how many links are on each…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
Case 18 — Comparing versions without mixing case sizes
Match reference, dimensions and configuration first. List confirmed differences separately from seller descriptions and date the comparison so later readers understand its scope.
Micro-adjust spacing varies by clasp. Measure the actual change at each setting rather than assuming a standard number of millimetres; compare the usable range with the link length.
Case 45 — Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause · source wording exercise
Correction note for “Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause”: retain the wording beginning “A competent watchmaker can test and diagnose it; random adjustment…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 5 — Comparison thread: 38mm vs 40mm versions of the same field watch, with a dated correction log
State whether thickness includes the highest point of a domed crystal. Different measurement methods can produce different figures, so keep both the source and method beside each dimension.
Photograph the item and protective packing separately from the label. Remove names, addresses, barcodes and tracking tokens from public images while keeping originals privately.
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.
