Question Which mark do I check to determine T-chain stretch

Sorry for another timing chain question, I did perform a search.
I performed my first valve adjustment today, went without a hitch (lots of tight valves ). I went to check the stretch on the chain and got a bit confused.
Do you line up the notch on the cam washer with the pointer on the cam tower? If this is the case I have about one degree of stretch.
Or, do you line up the tiny dimple on the cam sprocket with the pointer. In this case I have about 7-1/2 degrees of stretch.

I'm just a bit confused and worried about possibly driving around with a chain stretched 8 degrees.

Thanks all for the great info (thomaspin's website really made the task at hand easy)
