What information should accompany a reference-identification question? Start with a readable dial photograph, the stated reference if any, approximate dimensions and a description of where each claim came from. Redact serial numbers and ownership details.

Separate the question into dial, case and movement claims. If a detail is obscured, say it is unknown; copying specifications from a similar-looking version can create a false match.

Would one photograph be enough to confirm the exact version?

I would call the result provisional. A document tied to the exact reference can resolve questions that a front photograph cannot. Avoid assigning a definitive variant just to complete the table.

A useful next contribution would supply the precise reference and the source of each measurement or dated statement. Keep undocumented points open; this example does not invent evidence to close the question.
