Re: Added to OnTheDash -- Reference 404 N (Radium)

Please read "The Radium GIrls" before you wear a radium watch. Even if it looks this cool.

: The Reference 404 is interesting . . . we see it as far back as
: circa 1940, and in the 1950s, it was the companion to the Ref
: 2444. Same basic case as the 2444, with the 2444 having three
: registers (V72) and the 404 having two registers (V23).
: Distinctive features of the 404 / 2444 are the rounded lugs and
: the very small pushers.

: Most of the 404s have dauphine hands and thin metal markers . . .
: this one is the "Radium" version, with Arabic numerals
: and military style hands. I'm not sure whether it is a mongrel
: or maybe somewhat scarce. In any event, it looks good to my
: eye!!

: The Reference 404s can be an affordable entry into the world of
: vintage Heuer chronographs. Have a look at the 404s, here --
