Clarification for “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: the point beginning “Record lug-to-lug and the effective span…” 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.

The difficulty is that phone cameras adjust white balance automatically, and blue dials are especially sensitive. Two photos of the same dial under different light can easily look like a 'batch difference'. Any comparison needs both dials in the same frame, under the same light, ideally next to a neutral grey or white reference card.
Case 1 — Disputed observation: is this dial colour shift real or just lighting?
Status for now: unresolved. The claim is plausible, but no controlled comparison has been posted. Until one appears, describe it as 'reported, not verified'. When someone posts a same-frame, grey-card comparison under two lighting conditions, the thread can update the status with a date and a link to that post.
First, a clarifying question: how many links are on each side of the clasp right now? Fit often improves by moving one link from the 6 o'clock side to the 12 o'clock side, or the reverse. That doesn't change length, but it shifts where the clasp sits under the wrist, and a centred clasp feels less tight.
Can the same settings and winding state be used for several positions? Record each position separately rather than combining measurements taken under different conditions.
Request a level straight-on image with the hands clear of the marker. Compare two independently aligned images before drawing a conclusion; an overlay cannot correct an oblique camera angle.
Case 19 — Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs
Method note for “Lug-to-lug and end-link overhang in wrist photographs”: use “Record lug-to-lug and the effective span…” 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 36 — 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.

Case 15 — Comparison thread: 38mm vs 40mm versions of the same field watch, with a dated correction log
Use a correction row with date, old value, revised value and evidence. A worked example could change a lug-width entry from 20 to 22 mm; do not present that example as a correction to a real model.

Clarification for “Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear”: the point beginning “Sapphire is very hard to scratch but can chip or crack…” belongs to the question as written.

Correction note for “Crystal types: sapphire, mineral and acrylic trade-offs for daily wear”: retain the wording beginning “The core trade-off is scratch resistance…” 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.
