17:3317:33, 8 August 2026 diff hist +8 Reference:6552 Fix byline: the Wind Vintage Perpetual Movement Part 2 article is by Charlie Dunne, not Eric Wind (Wind Vintage's founder). Per research/indexes/sources.yaml src-windvintage-perpetual-part2; matches Reference:6098. Same correction applied to Reference:6150 and Reference:Movements.
17:3317:33, 8 August 2026 diff hist +5 Reference:daytona-glossary Fix propagated 2011 Rolex 24 GT-class attribution: winner was The Racer's Group #67 Porsche 997 GT3 Cup; TRG/Nadeau Motorsports was a separate entry that finished 37th DNF. Same correction applied to Reference:116523.
17:3317:33, 8 August 2026 diff hist +4 Reference:unicorn-daytona Correct propagated auction figure: Paul Newman's 6239 realised USD 17,752,500, not "17.52M". Same correction applied to Reference:neanderthal-daytona and Reference:6263.
17:3317:33, 8 August 2026 diff hist +8 Reference:6263 Correct two propagated auction figures: Paul Newman's 6239 realised USD 17,752,500, not "17.52M"; the Bao Dai 6062 realised CHF 5,066,000, not USD. Same corrections applied to Reference:neanderthal-daytona.

17:3017:30, 8 August 2026 diff hist +55 Reference:oyster-sotto-daytona Fix impossible hammer/all-in arithmetic: Daytona Ultimatum ran a flat 25% premium (Unicorn 5,937,500 and Neanderthal 3,012,500 both /1.25 to round hammers), so CHF 1,662,500 all-in means CHF 1,330,000 hammer, not 1,400,000. Also: CHF 1.66M is below the Unicorn and Neanderthal results, not "between" them. Source list heading -> Sources; DISPLAYTITLE no longer prints the raw slug.

17:2817:28, 8 August 2026 diff hist +334 Reference:6350 Fix: Douglas Prior was never knighted - remove false "Sir" honorific from 8 places (SEO description, intro, movement note, section heading + anchor, section prose, auction table, market prose, Sources link). Antiquorum lot 317-570's own catalogue note calls him "Douglas Roland Otway Prior" with the Polar Medal (announced June 1957) and reserves "Sir" for Fuchs and Hillary; only its lot title carries the typo. Polar Medal fact added.
17:2817:28, 8 August 2026 diff hist −19 Reference:16760 Remove orphan unattributed "Bernard's brief" citation: traced to bernardwatch.com, a dealer listing (research/sources/_16760-external-research.md), not a named researcher — dealers are barred from prose, so the minority 3185 reading is now stated as an unnamed specialist position. Also fixes a lowercase sentence start and the "consulted" research token.
17:2717:27, 8 August 2026 diff hist +248 Reference:6238 Fix: "Pucci Dewitte" is a fabrication welding two unrelated real people (curator Pucci Papaleo, collector Teddy Dewitte). Source is Russell Sheldrake, "Is the Rolex Pre-Daytona a Forgotten Classic?", A Collected Man, Aug 2020, which interviews Teddy Dewitte alone and never mentions Papaleo. Also: the date bracket is Sheldrake's own, not Saran's/Dewitte's, and ~3,965 is a derived sum of Dewitte's 3,590/225/150 breakdown, not a published total.
