Correction note for “Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement”: retain the wording beginning “Measure the lug opening and document bar diameter,…” 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 47 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark · source wording exercise
Reader check for “Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark”: distinguish the discussion point “A mark should be assessed across multiple views; aggressive polishing…” 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.
Summary draft for “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: the answer addresses “Use a similar camera distance and neutral wrist position; photographs support…”; the related point is “Record lug-to-lug and the effective span…”. 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.
Use fields for order date, promised terms, dated communications, delivery evidence and resolution. Leave unsupported fields blank and separate observations from opinions; this reference is not a seller endorsement.
Case 22 — Strap dimensions: lug width, taper, thickness and spring bar diameter explained
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.
Reader check for “Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context”: distinguish the discussion point “Keep the complete recording and ask for the…” 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: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.
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 29 — Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause
Summary draft for “Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause”: the answer addresses “Record the change and the circumstances without treating…”; the related point is “A competent watchmaker can test and diagnose it; random adjustment…”. 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.
Case 5 — 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.
Case 14 — Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use
Correction note for “Service enquiry: information a watchmaker can use”: retain the wording beginning “Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts and…” 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 38 — Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events · source wording exercise
Correction note for “Shipping timeline: separate dispatch, handover and scan events”: retain the wording beginning “Ask the sender or carrier for clarification; missing scans alone…” in the record.

Case 30 — Movement identification: the limits of a rotor photograph
Only part of the movement is visible and the rotor hides several bridges. Which details can be described without claiming certainty?
Exercise RWF-12733/30: address this question within its stated limits.
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.
Case 22 — Case finishing: distinguish a reflection from a surface mark
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.
Case 18 — First QC request: the minimum useful information
Clarification for “First QC request: the minimum useful information”: the point beginning “State the model configuration, the specific concern 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.
