No. 'The Gloria Scott' and 'The Musgrave Ritual' were solved by Holmes before the two even met, and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane' and 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' were cases written by Holmes after Watson was married. There are certainly other cases in which Watson had no hand.When Helen Stoner ('The Adventure of the Speckled Band') refers to the case of Mrs. Farintosh and her opal tiara by way of reference, Holmes says: "I think it was before your time, Watson."In 'The Adventure of the Second Stain,' Watson says that in 17 of the 23 years that Sherlock Holmes was in active practice, he "was allowed to co-operate with him and to keep notes of his doings" leaving six years where the two were not together.

What does Doctor Watson like?

"It's easy to tell that you've been accustomed to wear a uniform, Watson; you'll never pass as a pure-bred civilian as long as you keep that habit of carrying your handkerchief in your sleeve." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Crooked Man' "You are in the habit of doing up your boots in a certain way. I see them on this occasion fastened with an elaborate double bow, which is not your usual method of tying them." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax' "Your fatal habit of looking at everything from the point of view of a story instead of as a scientific exercise has ruined what might have been an instructive and even classical series of demonstrations. You slur over work of the utmost finesse and delicacy in order to dwell upon sensational details which may excite but cannot possibly instruct the reader." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Adventure of Abbey Grange' "You are like my friend Dr. Watson, who has a bad habit of telling his stories wrong end foremost." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge' "I am getting into your involved habit, Watson, of telling a story backwards." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Problem of Thor Bridge'
