Case 36 — Strap compatibility: width is only the first measurement
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 9 — Comparing dial colour under different lighting
State the lighting and white-balance limitations. Compare controlled images where available and avoid calling a colour defect from differently processed photographs.
Clarification for “Timegrapher reading context: what do rate, amplitude and beat error actually tell me?”: the point beginning “Without those fields, the rate, amplitude and beat-error values lack…” 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.
Reader check for “Bracelet fit: half-links, micro-adjust holes and the 'between sizes' problem”: distinguish the discussion point “First, a clarifying question: how many links are on each…” from its proposed application.

Describe visible bridge shapes and markings separately from the proposed identification. Ask a qualified watchmaker to inspect it if identification matters for servicing; do not open the case merely for a forum answer.

Case 32 — Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address
Method note for “Packing photographs: document condition without exposing an address”: use “Photograph the item and protective packing…” 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 6 — What a water-resistance claim does and does not establish
A listing describes a water-resistance rating but provides no test record for the individual watch. What evidence would address the gap?
Exercise RWF-12792/6: address this question within its stated limits.
Method note for “First QC request: the minimum useful information”: use “State the model configuration, the specific concern 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.
Add a dated correction near the original conclusion and link the new evidence. Preserve the reasoning trail instead of silently replacing an uncertain claim with a confident one.
