^^^ That thread has a lot of useful info to help with your decision. The heft/feel/perceived sturdiness of the 6-digit DDs versus the 5-digit models is not insignificant. If I were getting a 5-digit reference, I'd send the bracelet straight to Rolliworks for a full refurbishing. The stretch & sag on a 25ish year old President bracelet is wild (assuming it hasn't been kept in a safe).

They’re both great in their own way. 18238 with brushed lugs looks amazing. 118238 with newer clasp and solid links is worth it for people too
