Re: Vintage Heuer Stopwatch
In Response To: Vintage Heuer Stopwatch *PIC* ()

Hi Jon,
Glad you re-posted over here. Like I said in my other response in the 'Trader' section, it appears to be a 512.413. The link I gave you was from the '70 catalogue, but you are right the crown on yours is different, more like those from the '63 catalogue. With these, there needs to be a varying amount of detective work, so I would deduct that it's a 512.413 from around the '63 to '69. The later '70s versions having a different crown and pushers. Best to grab a few beers and trawl through the catalog section of OTD.

Like I mentioned before, I'm no expert in stopwatches, be I'd guess-timate at around £100 value. Unfortunately they don't command the prices they should. They are beautiful things and you'd be hard pressed to find a modern equivalent for the same price. It's daft.
Mind you, 20 years ago Heuer Super Autavias and Monte-Carlo dash timers were considered throw away parts from a defunct technology from rallying - now they are sought after.
