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.

Case 47 — Forum comparison archive: link the evidence and the correction · source wording exercise
Summary draft for “Forum comparison archive: link the evidence and the correction”: the answer addresses “Preserve the reasoning trail instead of silently replacing an…”; the related point is “Add a dated correction near the original conclusion…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.
Case 15 — Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem
Wrist size changes during the day and with temperature, sometimes by several millimetres. A fit that feels tight in the afternoon may be right in the morning. Before buying parts, check the fit at different times. You may find the 'too tight' setting is only a problem a few hours a day.
Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter, shoulder position and strap thickness. Avoid forcing an assembly that does not fit and let a watchmaker check uncertain clearances.
Case 47 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark · source wording exercise
Clarification for “Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark”: the point beginning “A mark should be assessed across multiple views; aggressive polishing…” 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.
Summary draft for “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: the answer addresses “Record lug-to-lug and the effective span…”; the related point is “Use a similar camera distance and neutral wrist position; photographs support…”. 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 “Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent”: use “Treat the comparison…” 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 21 — Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem

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.
Case 28 — Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment
Summary draft for “Clasp photographs: what to request before judging alignment”: the answer addresses “Request open and closed views from both sides,…”; the related point is “Separate cosmetic alignment from whether the clasp engages reliably;…”. 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.
Clarification for “Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address”: the point beginning “Remove names, addresses, barcodes and tracking tokens from public…” belongs to the question as written.

Case 4 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark
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.
Case 13 — Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph
Correction note for “Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph”: retain the wording beginning “Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately…” 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 37 — Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent · source wording exercise
Correction note for “Lume comparison: keep exposure and charging conditions consistent”: retain the wording beginning “Repeat with equal light source, charging duration, elapsed time and camera…” 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.
