Reference:16618: Difference between revisions

[checked revision][checked revision]
Text audit: voice, clarity, source links -- fixed negation-pivot sentence in Bracelets section, added missing 116618 link in the gold Submariner lineage chain (Core facts already lists 116618 as successor; sibling Reference:116618 confirms it as the lineage's fifth chapter)
Layout fix: converted stacked clasp/bracelet images in Bracelets section to a packed gallery -- two thumb|right floats next to a short intro paragraph left dead whitespace before the Early bracelet subsection heading (runbook Sec 3 stacked-pair rule)
