Case 28 — QC photographs: perspective or a genuinely tilted index?
A marker can look tilted when the camera is above the dial axis. What extra image would separate perspective from an assembly issue?
Exercise RWF-30442/28: address this question within its stated limits.
Clarification for “QC photographs: perspective or a genuinely tilted index?”: the point beginning “Request a level straight-on image with the hands…” 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.

First identify the caliber, lift-angle setting, winding state and measurement position. Without those fields, the rate, amplitude and beat-error values lack enough context for a useful comparison.
Correction note for “Beginner glossary Q&A: complication, caliber, jewel count, power reserve”: retain the wording beginning “Caliber is the movement's model designation,…” 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 42 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle · source wording exercise
Clarification for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: the point beginning “Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish…” 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.
Case 20 — Comparing dial colour under different lighting

Case 32 — Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear
Domed crystals of any material add distortion at the edges, which some people like and others find hard to read at angles. Box-shaped or high-domed crystals also add thickness. If you're comparing two otherwise similar watches, check total thickness against crystal profile before assuming the case itself is thicker.
Request open and closed views from both sides, with the watch supported safely. Separate cosmetic alignment from whether the clasp engages reliably; functional concerns need hands-on inspection.

Limit of the answer in “Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context”: “Keep the complete recording and ask for the…” 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.
Document when it stops, winding behaviour, recent impacts and the positions in which it happens. Be honest about the watch and request an assessment before approving work or ordering parts.
Case 30 — Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause
Correction note for “Magnetism and rate: record evidence before naming a cause”: retain the wording beginning “Record the change and the circumstances without treating…” 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.
