	The ~~93258~~ is a full 18k yellow-gold Oyster with Glidelock extension, offering roughly 20mm of micro-adjustment. The polished center links catch and reflect light against the brushed outer links, creating a play of finishes down the wrist; the Vintage Rolex Field Manual cites this as a distinctive quality of the gold Submariner bracelets, absent on the steel 116610LN where the Oyster is entirely brushed.

	Full-gold construction makes this one of the heaviest bracelets in the Submariner catalog. The bracelet does not change during the run; every 116618 carries the same Glidelock-equipped ~~93258~~.

	No specific lot-level auction data has surfaced for the 116618 yet. The reference is recent enough that dealer market pricing is the more relevant signal for most examples; the gold Submariner's auction prominence belongs to the 1680/8 and the earlier references, while the 116618 circulates primarily through the dealer market.
