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.

2023 Tissot SeaStar 2000 46mm T120607A, like new. $850.00 CAD. 501-00407

Tissot is to Omega, as Tudor is to Rolex. Tissot may be lower in price, but don’t let that fool you, they are immensely capable performers lacking almost nothing when it comes to high end features. I can’t think of another brand (even Tudor) with a power reserve of 80 hours at this price point. This watch is still available on the Tissot website with a retail price of $1,495.00. For under $1,500.00 you get a watch with a water resistance rating of 600 meters (2000 feet), display case back showcasing the 23 jewel automatic winding calibre C07111, a helium escape valve, protected threaded crown, one-way timer bezel with ceramic insert, domed lab-grown sapphire crystal, gradient brown/black wave texture dial, solid stainless steel 46mm case, a handy 31 day calendar, and some of the largest/luminous hands and markers found on any watch. This is a watch built with heavy duty sporting use in mind but can still has some dressy qualities. Gold tone bezel insert numbers with gold framed hands and hour markers add a subtle luxury touch. That amazing 80 hour power reserve is quite an accomplishment for a single mainspring high volume mechanism that is used other more general purpose Tissot models. The watchmakers at Tissot took the accomplished, reliable calibre ETA 2824-2 and modified it by more than doubling the originals 38 hour power reserve. A reengineered mainspring barrel and a silicon escapement reduces the need for lubrication. This allows the movement to release power more slowly, running at a lower speed of 21,600 beats per hour while still maintaining high accuracy is quite an achievement. This movement was introduced in 2011 and in our experience has proven to be a capable performer just like the calibre 2824 it is based on. Our watch is in like new condition and has hardly been worn. It was purchased at D.C. Taylor Jewellers in Collingwood Ontario and comes with the original sales receipt from the summer of 2023 as well as all the original packaging, instruction booklet, all packaging, and warranty card. The factory supplied 2-year warranty has lapsed but we are happy to provide the next owner with a 1-year warranty covering the same aspects of the watch as the Tissot guarantee. If you’re looking to add to your collection with a striking diver’s watch or are just getting into the Swiss watch hobby, a modern Tissot like this is a great way to get your feet wet. Estate priced at $850.00 CAD. Stock #501-00407.

10-ounce sealed Johnson Matthey 999 fine silver bar (spot+10%). 912-00565.

Silver recently touched a new all-time high of $114.00 CAD per ounce today (January 6, 2026) and has since backed off to $106.00. Many feel there is much more upside to the price of silver and other precious metals, especially given the the current geopolitical climate in the world. Obtaining physical silver is very difficult right now because many refiners are no longer accepting scrap silver for refining because they are overwhelmed with current recycling commitments. We think this situation will sort itself out over time when market conditions become more normalized. Premiums for buying the physical metal are once again seeing significant increases. If you have some, holding on to it may be a good idea. We do not consider ourselves precious metal dealers but we do come across some interesting bullion from time to time. This 10-ounce Johnson Matthey 999 fine silver bar is very desirable to those who want to own and hold the actual metal. It is still factory sealed in the original plastic. If you’re interested in buying this one don’t wait, we expect this one will sell quickly. They are priced at just 10% over spot pricing. Collectable Johnson Matthey bars typically trade hands for larger premiums than generic bars and Royal Canadian Mint bars. Stock #912-00565.
