Chocolate gilt 1500 and lemon 1803 in sun

1964 tropical date from Eden Yemen (according to paper work) and the last of the 1803 DD’s, a 1977 with lemon mat numeral dial in the rare Irish sun with pimple😁.

I think that should be "Aden" rather than "Eden". The Oyster Date could have some military connection as the British army still had a significant presence in Aden at the time it was purchased. Both are very nice watches so thanks for taking the time to share.
