6 x 1oz. Canadian wildlife 9999 fine silver coins, spot plus 5% (no sales tax). 912-00864

If you’re reading this post you are likely aware that silver prices have been making a parabolic move to the upside over the last few months. Since November 2025 the price for silver has practically doubled to date (January 14, 2026). Is this a trend, is this a bubble, is this a reflection of the geopolitical environment, is this the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar and other paper backed currencies, or are precious metals (especially silver) finally waking up after doing very little for many years? There are plenty of theories out there for your consideration, just be prepared to hang on tight for the ride. Our latest estate bullion offer is a little more exotic compared to the regular Canadian maple leaf coins that make consistent appearances. This series of Canadian wildlife $5.00 coins is exactly the same as the maple leaf except the leaf has been replaced with one of Canada’s majestic wild animals. These 99.99% pure silver coins are among the finest and most respected coins in the world. The Royal Canadian Mint are recognized worldwide for their exceptional quality. If you haven’t invested in silver yet this could be a great way to start. Even if silver stalls or drops in price, these coins will remain a beautiful keepsake and store of value. They are less common but we are offering them for the same price as an ordinary maple leaf coin. They are priced at just the current value of silver each contain (1 troy ounce) plus 5%. For an up to the minute price for fine silver and gold you can click BullionVault.com. These 6 coins are being offered as a set only, we will not break them up. They are not subject to any form of sales tax. Please add 2% if you choose to purchase using something other than cash, debit, or e-Transfer to cover credit card fees. They are all in very good condition and have been lightly handled. We usually have some silver and gold bullion in stock that often is not posted. If you are looking for silver and gold bullion, please contact at us. Stock number #912-00864.

2017 Christopher Ward C60 Trident GMT 600 43mm $1,500.00 CAD. 502-00419

Christopher Ward watches are new generation of luxury watch company that have been around for only around 20 years. June 2005 they debuted as the world’s first online only watch brand with only two models offered. English design and made in Switzerland to a exacting standards without the extra frills and fluff. A direct to consumer online based distribution model with no costly celebrity endorsements or expensive marketing campaigns allow them very high quality without the the high price. I guess if you’ve never heard of them, the little to no marketing campaign is working. They describe their watches as “the cheapest most expensive watches in the world”. I have to agree, at this price point it’s hard to find many watches of this specification. This 2017 C60 is from the Sealander collection. A diver/dual time watch with excellent water resistance qualities of 2000 feet thanks to the threaded crown and case-back. The 43mm case is machined from 316L stainless steel and showcases brushed and polished finishes along the edges. A guard along the case edge contour helps protect the 7.0mm crown from impacts. A super hard lab-grown sapphire crystal should keep the optics perfect. A matt finish white dial features large applied stick markers and hands filled with a generous amount of luminous pigment. A subtle wave textured dial reenforces the diver theme. I love the trident tail of the seconds hand that subtly implies the watertight nature of the Sealander. A calendar and seconds hand add extra utility you’d expect from a watch that can double for almost any activity. The black ceramic bezel is unlike any other bezel we’ve ever seen before. The first quarter of the bezel is indexed for 15 minutes like any other divers watch, but the other three quarters of the bezel displays hours in a 24 hour format to be used in conjunction with the 2nd hour hand (orange arrow shaped). This is a very curious feature indeed; if you want to use the first 1/4 bezel as second time zone you’ll have to teach yourself to recognize the 5 minute mark also means 02:00 hours, the 10 minute mark means 04:00 hours etc. This is a weird feature that will have your watch buddies talking about. Powering the Sealander is a robust ETA 2893-2 not the Selitta clone. This 21 jewel shock resistant movement can be found in many watches from notable brands of lower specification that cost much more. Familiar to any watchmaker, easy access to parts, this movement is ready to provide reliable service for many decades with only the occasional cleaning. The watch comes with an Oyster style stainless steel bracelet with removable links secured by bushed rivets. Underneath the locking buckle is a micro-adjustment with 5 positions of length. This 1 owner watch has only been lightly worn and remains in original condition, never polished or refinished. There are minor scuffs and scratches that are easily removed if you wish. It comes complete with the inner/outer presentation box, instruction booklet, warranty card, and a never out of its folder polishing cloth. We are happy to provide the next owner with a complimentary 1-year warranty. Christopher Ward still produce a Sealander GMT but they gave in to convention and now offer a regular 24 hour bezel model without the 15 timer portion and the water resistance rating is only 500 feet vs. 2000 for our version. This unusual and rare watch is estate priced at $1,500.00 CAD. Stock #501-00419.

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. Stock #171-00116.

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.
