[Demo notebook] Workbench questions: what to record before asking for service · RWI-30919

Case 20 — Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context

Summary draft for “Reading a timegrapher recording without losing the context”: the answer addresses “Keep the complete recording and ask for the…”; the related point is “A single number cannot establish service condition, movement identity…”. 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 21 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment

A nominal case diameter says little about a bracelet that cannot be shortened enough. How should a sizing question be documented?

Exercise RWI-30919/21: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 21 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment

Clarification for “Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment”: the point beginning “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…” 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.

Case 21 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment

Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp adjustment range in millimetres. Request the closed bracelet circumference rather than inferring it from marketing dimensions.

Case 21 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment

Method note for “Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment”: use “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…” 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: measuring the usable clasp adjustment

Limit of the answer in “Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment”: “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…” 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.

Case 21 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment

Correction note for “Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment”: retain the wording beginning “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…” 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 21 — Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment

Summary draft for “Bracelet fit: measuring the usable clasp adjustment”: the answer addresses “Record wrist circumference, removable links and the clasp…”; the related point is “Request the closed bracelet circumference rather than inferring…”. 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 22 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle

Clarification for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: the point beginning “Use the same numeral, camera axis…” 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.

Case 22 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle

Different numerals have different optical centres. A comparison mixes two dates and unequal magnification. How can the evidence be improved?

Exercise RWI-30919/22: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 22 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle

Use the same numeral, camera axis and approximate image scale. Keep the uncropped originals alongside the detail crops and distinguish optical balance from physical window alignment.

Case 22 — Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle

Method note for “Date window centring: compare the same date at the same angle”: use “Use the same numeral, camera axis…” 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 23 — 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 RWI-30919/23: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 23 — What a water-resistance claim does and does not establish

Ask a qualified watchmaker about a suitable test for that individual case and record the test date and method. A photograph or a caseback engraving is not proof of water resistance.

Case 23 — What a water-resistance claim does and does not establish

Clarification for “What a water-resistance claim does and does not establish”: the point beginning “Ask a qualified watchmaker about a suitable test for that individual…” 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.
