"Poor Man's Heuer" Worn by John Glenn

I thought that our readers would be proud to see that John Glenn wore a "Poor Man's Heuer" [Bulova chronograph]. It seems to be identical to the Heuer Reference 404, and we know that Heuer produced watches for Bulova.

My posting covering this the John Glenn estate sale was on Hodinkee this past Thursday; here's the link -- https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/my-hunt-for-john-glenns-watches

You can also see my posting providing an overview / bibliography for all John Glenn's watches, here -- http://www.onthedash.com/watching-john-glenn/

There are several additional photos of this Bulova chronograph in this posting.
