Clarifying question: what does daily wear mean for you? Desk work, manual labour or sports change the answer. For desk use, sapphire's scratch resistance is the main benefit. For work with frequent knocks, a slightly domed acrylic that you can polish may last longer in practice, despite the scratches.

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.
Keep the complete recording and ask for the settings, winding state and position. A single number cannot establish service condition, movement identity or performance on a wrist.
Case 28 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
The available image hides the hinge and only shows the outer surface. Which additional views would answer the question?

Case 4 — Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address
Photograph the item and protective packing separately from the label. Remove names, addresses, barcodes and tracking tokens from public images while keeping originals privately.
Start with how you measured it. Comparing against a phone clock once a day for a week, at the same time, and noting the offset is reliable enough. One 24-hour reading isn't, because rate depends on wrist time, position overnight and state of wind. Average across several days before deciding anything.
