0.15ct. tw. SI-HI natural diamond hinged bangle bracelet, 13.1gr. 14kt. $2,000.00 CAD. 171-00116

Shopping around and learning about value is more important today than it’s even been before. From groceries to jewellery. Understanding the difference between price and value has never been so crucial. You shouldn’t just buy the cheapest product on the shelf because of the price. You should purchase items that represents the best value. Basic jewellery items like this are very easy to determine what kind of value they offer. Our price of $2,000.00 may sound expensive until you learn the value it represents. This bracelet has been crafted from a generous 13 plus grams of upgraded 14 karat yellow gold. By weight alone this bracelet contains $1,572.00 in recyclable gold content plus around $20.00 in fine silver alloy, and a touch of rhodium to highlight the diamonds (as of Jan. 12, 2026). The nice quality (SI-HI) round brilliant cut natural diamonds have a wholesale cost of around $150.00. So just in material cost alone this bracelet is worth around $1,742.00. Now you have to turn those raw commodities into the beautifully manufactured diamond bracelet you see here. Expect the manufacturing costs to add 50% to the cost of the parts, now add in some duty (if imported) and a reasonable retail markup so everyone can stay in business, pay taxes, rents, employee wages, credit card fees, packaging, commissions on sales for the mall landlord, and numerous other costs to run a business etc. It’s a wonder anyone can stay in business. Now that you understand the costs of making and selling something like this, it is easy to understand the amazing value $2,000.00 is. With the cost of precious metals continuing to rise, getting value should always be top of mind. We are always willing to demonstrate the value of everything and anything we sell, other stores should be willing to do the same in our opinion. We also reserve the right not to sell any item (although we seldom do), that is advertised for less than its scrap value. This bracelet is of sturdy construction and measures 3.3mm wide and is secured with an interference two phase clasp with an additional side safety. It is in like new condition showing little to no wear and the hinge is quite tight. The inside circumference measures just a touch under 6 3/4 inches. Our estate price is $2,000.00 CAD.

Oct. 2023 Rolex Explorer II polar white 226570 42mm never worn $14,700.00 CAD. 505-00475

Rolex sport watches continue to be elusive at authorized agents. Ten years ago you could walk into a Rolex store and see over 100 different models in their showcases. Today, you’d be lucky to see half a dozen models in stock at even the largest authorized Rolex agent. All Rolex models are tough to find, but the stainless steel sports watches are by far the most difficult to get your hands on and are never in stock. Some of the most popular models have waiting lists extending years, and trade hands on the secondary market for twice their original suggested retail price. Our latest pre-owned estate Rolex was delivered at the end of October in 2023 but never worn. The Explorer II 226570 is a versatile professional model that can handle almost any task asked of it. When the original Explorer II was introduced in 1971 it was designed to display the time simultaneously in both 12 and 24-hour formats. A distinct 2nd-hour hand and an outer bezel indexed for 24 hours let the wearer know if they are in AM or PM hours. The concept was that if you were working in an environment without natural light for extended periods, you’d know whether it was day or night by the 24-hour hand. The original Explorer II was indeed a very specialized piece of equipment. In 1985 Rolex introduced an all-new Explorer II that did away with the fully coupled hour hands. The new watch allowed the “regular” hour hand to move independently from the orange 24-hour hand. This allowed the 12-hour hand to indicate local time, and the orange 24-hour hand could show any other time zone. This 2023 Explorer II continues the dual-time tradition but in a larger 42mm case size. The thin bezel, large polar white dial, and somewhat thinner profile make the 226570 appear larger than the size suggests. Thick hands, larger hour markers provide instantaneous time interpretation under any lighting condition. This watch is in 100% perfect condition it has never been worn, not even any of the adjustment bracelet screws have been turned. It only shows a few fingerprints in some of our photographs. The specific grade 904L stainless steel Rolex chooses to use show fingerprints more more than the quality industry standard 316L stainless. The watch comes complete with an endorsed warranty card (fall of 2023), booklets, instructions, inner/outer boxes, foam box liner, both hang tags, and even the outer protective cardboard sleeve (not shown). This watch is covered by the international 5-year Rolex warranty until the fall of 2028. Unworn and estate priced at $14,700.00 CAD. Stock #505-00475.

0.16ct. SI2-I natural diamond pendant, 1.4gr. 14kt. 16/18″ pendant. $490.00 CAD. 161-00382

Good things come in small dimensions. This is one of the more delicate pendants we have in stock. Simple and petite designs like this go a long way when making a less is more statement. The small bezel setting contains a natural round brilliant diamond that is estimated to weight 0.16 carats and is of a conservative SI2-I quality. The light 1.0mm rolo link chain can be worn at 16 or 18 inches for some extra versatility. Soldered into the necklace with connections at 10:00 and 2:00 o’clock means the pendant has been designed not to flip upside down and has a low profile of just 2.2mm. Both pendant and necklace have been made from upgraded 14 karat yellow gold with a total weight of 1.4 grams. It is in like new condition showing no wear of any kind. Tiffany do something almost the same in 18 karat with a diamond 70% smaller. This would make a great gift for an anniversary or perhaps a young girls first diamond jewellery piece. Comes in our blue and white Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers presentation box for the estate price of $490.00 CAD. Stock #161-00382.

2023 Tudor Black Bay 41 ceramic Master Chronometer 79210CNU $4,300.00 CAD. 505-00623

The Black Bay ceramic is an unlikely candidate to showcase Tudor’s most highly evolved movement, but that is the case with the 79210CNU. This is the first Tudor to achieve the “Master Chronometer” designation. This automatic winding masterpiece is certified by the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology (METAS). This testing goes above and beyond the typical COSC chronometer standards. METAS requires all the movements to be stable when exposed to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. The accuracy requirements are also tighter than COSC. The manufactures power reserve must be met and accuracy must be achieved with 100% and 33% power reserve over a wide range of temperatures.  A final test confirming the manufacturer’s water resistance rating is also conducted. All the testing is done on fully assembled watches. All METAS certified watches must already have a COSC (Contrôle officiel suisse des Chronomètres) movement certificate. The stealthy looking ceramic watch is a niche product from Rolex’ sister company that is part of the Black Bay Diver line up but lacks a key diver feature. There is no luminous zero index marker on the bezel, and the bezel’s radial on matt finish is difficult to use even in the best of lighting environments. That being said the sinister Darth Vader look is very handsome, but are you cool enough to pull it off? The only contrast on the watch are the oversized markers and hands that certainly making time interpretation a snap, day or night. In a very “un” Rolex/Tudor move, the dark grey dial text blends discreetly into the black background. With such a highly evolved overachieving movement, the 1st “Master Chronometer” from Tudor, you’d think they’d want to show it off in bright text. Perhaps its more a case of, “speaking softly, while carrying a big stick”, no one is questioning the quality of the MT5602 masterpiece movement. The movement has also been treated to an understated blackout treatment visible through the display case back window. The traditional Black Bay 41mm case still shows off the precise beveled case edge with a vintage Tudor Rose embossed crown. Attached to the case is Tudor’s hybrid rubber/leather strap, which is in itself a peculiar choice for any diver watch. The strap has a soft suede feeling outer surface that feels more pliable than most full rubber designs. The black fliplock deployment PVD buckle is made from traditional stainless steel as the stresses imposed on a thin section of ceramic would never last on watch like this. This watch dates from the summer of 2023 and comes with Tudor’s 5-year international warranty. It looks to be in unworn condition and comes complete with the included NATO style striped strap, documents, instructions, inner/outer boxes and even the paper hang tag. You can buy a new one from your local agent for $7,390.00 as seen on Tudor website. Our pick up ours at a 41.8% discount. This is a ton of Tudor for the estate price of $4,300.00 CAD. Stock #505-00623.
