Episode 0 teaches the sheet. The twelve shorts each carry one claim. The end card is Tenue Score, 0 to 100. If a comment asks what to pay, that is a different door.

  1. Hand-finishing is real. It is not poured into the number.
  2. A brand's own timing wrap is still the independent test underneath it, not a second outside exam.
  3. A clasp you can use on the wrist is not the same as an open dive rack.
  4. Two marketing stories about the same escapement still count once.
  5. A hybrid movement does not get scored as if it were a beating balance.
  6. A slower independent movement is not punished for existing.
  7. Two barrels in series add reserve. They do not invent a second movement.
  8. An independent lab test is not the same as a maker's own long test.
  9. Craft is not a ranking. A closed Rolex caseback does not invent bevels.
  10. A modern clasp can be better hardware than an older bracelet. The movement is still the movement.
  11. Long reserve at a steady beat can score well without a logo bonus.
  12. Ask is a different door. These shorts have no prices.
