Clarification for “A maintenance log that remains useful after a sale”: the point beginning “Keep the date, work performed, provider invoice reference…” 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 45 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle · source wording exercise
Reader check for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: distinguish the discussion point “Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish…” 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: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 26 — Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent
Treat the comparison as inconclusive. Repeat with equal light source, charging duration, elapsed time and camera settings; disclose conditions rather than assigning an unsupported quality score.

Case 19 — 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…”. 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.
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.
Method note for “QC photographs: perspective or a genuinely tilted index?”: use “Request a level straight-on image with the hands…” 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.
Thickness matters more than people expect. Straps around 4 to 5mm at the lugs can hit the case or stop the strap folding down on watches with short lugs or tight lug-to-case clearance. Do you know whether your watch has drilled lugs or a tight gap between strap and case? That tells you how much thickness is safe.
Record lug-to-lug and the effective span including rigid end links. Use a similar camera distance and neutral wrist position; photographs support fit discussion but do not replace measurements.
Method note for “Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address”: use “Remove names, addresses, barcodes and tracking tokens from public…” 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 17 — 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?
Exercise RWF-16139/17: address this question within its stated limits.
Case 22 — Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions
Correction note for “Seller review template: facts, dates and unresolved questions”: retain the wording beginning “Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated…” 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.
Limit of the answer in “Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events”: “Distinguish label creation from physical acceptance and retain 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 38 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use · source wording exercise
Clarification for “Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use”: the point beginning “Be honest about the watch and request an assessment…” 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: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
