I have seen koni associated with the heuer 13-1.... but a picture would definitely help!

The only thing that rings a bell to me is the dutch firm Koni that makes car service hoists (very good ones by the way, we had 3 of them, never one problem in 40 years) and shock-absorbers for cars in the orange colour.
I have them under my car, which have race-specs and are height adjustable.

There are many more qualified than me I'm afraid but I suspect you could do some benchmarking on recent ebay or forum sales.

The circa 1980 'french made' valjoux (of which this is a cousin, I guess) are amonst the cheapest vintage heuer. This one appears to be less common... but also pretty 'well worn'...

Yes it is well worn
I can't find any models like it though or any comparison anywhere

Maybe I will chance my ArM on eBay

Cheers

As mentioned above it's a 13-1 model and from the French made models, and are not sought after like some of the more famous Heuer models.

The Koni branding makes it more appealing to car people, but less so than probably other French models sporting logos like Champion (Spark plugs).

Given the condition you'll be looking at about the same pricing as a good-ish condition regular one if you find the right buyer IMHO.

It has some appeal to me as it's engraved 1980, is Heuer, and has Koni on it. I'd be interested to know what pricing you're thinking so ping me a message if you've got a value in mind.

Hi
Thanks for your message

Ok well I paid £700 or £750 as I recall .

I would like my money back with a bit of interest as I think vintage Heuers have appreciated a fair bit in recent years

So I was thinking £900 . Keeps excellent time and all running smoothly

I am on 07973 750793

Cheers
