Bradley,
I don't have good photos of the 13-1, I do have pics of a similar-ish model (similar coloured dial/sub dials & PVD finish), my 'Ref-12', which is in superb condition, it will give you an idea of how good it looks in mint condition - see here: http://heuerville.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/heuer-ref-12-chronograph/

For a quality PVD service in the US, I've only ever heard great things about Noah at 10watches - see here: http://www.10watches.com/
Have a look at the gallery and see examples of his work. He is a really nice guy too. Plus his work is very reasonable.

Cheers
Stewart

: Hi all, I am new on the forum, but Jeff encouraged me to contribute
: so here is my first post.
: I bought a "beater" 13-1 on ebay a few months back, and
: now that I have acquired a few other pieces, I am debating
: whether to sell it or have it refurbished. However, i have been
: able to find next to nothing out about these watches other than
: a photo in the 1980 Heuer catalogue. Is there anyone out there
: with a 13-1 in good shape that could post some photos? If there
: is anyone interested in buying one as a project (it works
: fantastically well, but needs some cosmetic TLC) you can contact
: me for pics. I have come to understand that although these
: aren't the most desirable Heuers, they are exceedingly scarce.

: Also, does anyone have a source for PVD case refinishing in the
: states? I also have a Monza that needs a thoughtful resto, and
: although I am considering Nic Green, I just wanted to see if
: there were other folks that could do the job well domestically
: for a reasonable price.

: Thanks!
