Identity
A caliber is three separate things and this reference keeps them apart: the construction, the names it is sold under, and the article a brand actually bought. A watch model points at an execution — never at a bare construction — which is why “same caliber” is almost never a complete answer.

No source in this corpus states which grade any ETA 2872 was bought at. That unknown is stored as a real row rather than left blank, so it can be counted, filtered and excluded from any comparison that would otherwise assume parity.

Where a property carries more than one value, the values have different scopes — an official spec sheet and observed hardware, say. Different scopes are not a disagreement, so both are accepted and both are shown with the scope they apply to.
