Refinished Dial Evidence Screen

Organize explicit evidence into replacement, refinished original, supported original, or insufficient-evidence dial classifications without inventing a value penalty.

Description

Dial-evidence classification separates an original dial supported by documentation from a confirmed replacement or refinished original.

Dial-evidence classification separates an original dial supported by documentation from a confirmed replacement or refinished original. It requires explicit supplied evidence.^[1]

Organize explicit evidence into replacement, refinished original, supported original, or insufficient-evidence dial classifications without inventing a value penalty.

When to use Refinished Dial Evidence Screen

Use this tool to organize explicit evidence into replacement, refinished original, supported original, or insufficient-evidence dial classifications without inventing a value penalty.

Choose a supported lookup focus or prepare the measured values, documented evidence and caller-selected limits requested. Use the exact field names and confirm their units or date format.

How to use Refinished Dial Evidence Screen and understand its results

Choose a supported lookup focus or prepare the measured values, documented evidence and caller-selected limits requested. Use the exact field names and confirm their units or date format.
Enter documentationSupportsOriginalDial, replacementDialConfirmed, refinishedOriginalDialConfirmed using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
Read classification, evidenceCaution. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.

Input field	Meaning	Value type; see rules below	Requirement
documentationSupportsOriginalDial	Documentation supports original dial	boolean	Required
replacementDialConfirmed	Replacement dial confirmed	boolean	Required
refinishedOriginalDialConfirmed	Refinished original dial confirmed	boolean	Required

Enter three booleans. Reject simultaneous replacement and refinished-original confirmations. Otherwise apply that priority and return classification plus evidence caution; either confirmation overrides the documentation flag.

replacement→confirmedReplacement; refinish→confirmedRefinish; documentation→supportedOriginal; else insufficientEvidence

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
classification	Dial evidence classification	string; one of "confirmedReplacement", "confirmedRefinish", "supportedOriginal", "insufficientEvidence"
evidenceCaution	Dial evidence caution	string

{
  "input": {
    "documentationSupportsOriginalDial": true,
    "replacementDialConfirmed": false,
    "refinishedOriginalDialConfirmed": true
  },
  "output": {
    "classification": "confirmedRefinish",
    "evidenceCaution": "This screen organizes explicit evidence only. Dial age, printing, patina, relief, lume, and service marks still require reference-level examination; no percentage originality penalty is inferred here."
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

No dial image, print, lume, patina, service mark or source document is examined. No originality percentage or value penalty is inferred.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Provenance Ownership Event Sequence Screen: Validate chronological provenance-event dates and screen their documentary gaps against an explicit maximum; it does not establish legal ownership or authenticity. For a complementary task, use Unobtainium Collector Term Lookup: Define grail, holy grail, unobtainium, valuation, verification, and marketing cautions without converting subjective collector vocabulary into a formal rarity tier.
