I prefer 5-digit DD36 on president bracelet and 6-digit DD36 on oyster bracelet

Would BOB's watches be the best option for one in great condition?

As an owner of both...here is my two cents. The 5 Digit to me is the ultimate classic, near perfect in proportions. However, the 6 digit bracelet makes the older feel cheap and flimsy in comparison.
If this makes sense, the 5 digit on the wrist is close to perfection whereas when you handle both the 6 feels like you got your money's worth. All of course in my humble opinion...

I snagged a DD36 on oyster a couple weeks ago; it's the ultimate sleeper.

Absolutely the quintessential “If you know, you know” Rolex. Great looking piece.

Great thread and further convinces me I need a DD36 in my life.

I’m leaning towards a 6 digit because bracelet integrity is very important to me.
