  "verdict": "GL",
  "confidence": "Moderate",
  "shipment_condition": "Ask NecoClock to confirm the exact ordered configuration and the meaning of 'different model' before shipment.",
  "summary": "The visible alignment, sampled dates, hand alignment and timing support GL. Uneven bright index-frame edges deserve disclosure but do not establish a damaged marker. The seller's ambiguous model comment should be clarified before shipping.",
  "findings": [
    {
      "area": "Index alignment",
      "assessment": "GL on visible evidence",
      "evidence": "P02, P03 and P04 independently corrected to printed minute ticks. No conspicuous displaced baton or repeatable severe rotation. Crown and 6/9 placement broadly agree with the dial axes.",
      "limit": "Minor apparent edge slopes remain; no sub-degree physical tolerances or perfect alignment claimed. Raised markers and crystal optics survive planar correction."
    },
    {
      "area": "Index-frame finish",
      "assessment": "Uncertain fine detail",
      "evidence": "Uneven bright rims at 9, 4 and 8 are visible in similar-angle captures. Inner luminous rectangles remain continuous and broadly straight.",
      "limit": "Reflection is plausible but not proven to explain every irregularity. No definite missing metal or lume dropout is established; request diffuse-light macros if these edges affect the decision."
    },
    {
      "area": "Date wheel",
      "assessment": "Sampled dates acceptable",
      "evidence": "Dates 13, 17 and 21 are fully readable with visible aperture clearance in P02, P03 and P04.",
      "limit": "Margins are not mathematically equal; perspective and cyclops optics affect apparent placement. Three dates do not validate all 31 positions or rollover timing."
    },
    {
      "area": "Hands",
      "assessment": "Looks acceptable",
      "evidence": "P02 shows the main hands meeting near 12. P03/P04 show no obvious in-plane kink. V02 shows the seconds hand advancing before case and bracelet handling.",
      "limit": "The video is not a hand-setting demonstration. Full-cycle clearance, precise synchronization and date-change function are not established."
    },
    {
      "area": "Timegrapher",
      "assessment": "Reassuring short sample",
      "evidence": "V01 shows -5 s/day, 274 degrees, 0.1 ms, 28,800 b/h and a 52-degree lift-angle setting. The short trace appears orderly.",
      "limit": "The clip is 5.63 seconds. The 12s on the display is an instrument setting, not video duration. Correct lift angle, full wind, multiple positions and long-term wrist rate are unverified."
    },
    {
      "area": "Printing, bezel, SELs, bracelet and lume",
      "assessment": "No obvious major fault",
      "evidence": "Print appears legible; fluting has no obvious missing segment. End links show no conspicuous open daylight gap. Lume appears present across the luminous batons and hands.",
      "limit": "Film and reflections obscure finish; lume photos cannot establish duration. Clasp markings and stickers do not authenticate a factory or movement. No dive-bezel pip is present on this configuration."
    },
    {
      "area": "Seller's model wording",
      "assessment": "Confirm before shipping",
      "evidence": "The photos show a silver baton dial, fluted bezel and Jubilee-style bracelet, consistent with the requested visible configuration.",
      "limit": "A translation error is possible but cannot be assumed. Photos do not establish the exact case diameter, factory, v2 designation or installed movement. The earlier rejected specimen was not reviewed."

  "seller_message": "Thanks for the replacement QC. Before shipping, please confirm this is the exact configuration I ordered: VSF DateJust 36mm, VS3235 v2, silver baton dial, fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet. What did you mean by 'different model'\u2014a replacement piece of the same specification, or a different reference or version? Please confirm the pictured watch is the one allocated to my order.",
  "review_limits": "AI visual review plus conventional programmatic image geometry, without separate human watchmaker sign-off. No authentication, factory or movement verification, material testing, water-resistance testing, power-reserve testing or guarantee of future reliability. All 19 gallery files were retained and compared with live Imgur downloads; all photos and chronological frames across both short clips were inspected. No generative reconstruction, AI sharpening or invented detail. P01 is an annotated enlargement of P04, not independent evidence.",
