2011 Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronograph 353-66 41mm $5,900.00 CAD. 501-00418

There are so many fantastic watches available. Many with rich histories going back more than a century. In fact, more than a few Swiss brands have been producing timing devices for longer than there have even been wrist watches. It’s too bad so few brands get the notoriety they deserve in North America. Ulysee Nardin is certainly worthy of consideration to anyone looking for an amazing watch with a great history of producing some amazing time pieces. They have a background dating back to the mid 1800s. The company was famous for building some of the world’s most accurate marine chronometers. Before there was electronic timing equipment these highly accurate wind up timekeepers were an essential tool for celestial navigation on the open sea. Accuracy wasn’t a luxury, it was a life or death necessity. Before the digital world of GPS positioning, knowing where you were relied on precise time, a clear star filled sky, a sextant and a good deal of operator skill. Developing incredibly accurate ship clocks was a daunting task given the environment they operated in. Accurate time was an essential factor for knowing where you were in the vast open oceans. In keeping with their nautical timing history the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer 353-66 offers all the features one would expect from a rugged and durable watch. Super sturdy stainless case offering water resistance to over 600 feet. Threaded crown and chronograph pushers screw into the case ensuring moisture stays out and the time or chronograph can’t accidentally be changed/stopped. The beautiful concentric ring and matt finish chocolate brown dial with luminous hands and markers is in itself a small work of art. The calendar and continuous seconds hand add some useful utility. An exquisitely machined bezel resembles the reeded edge of a coin and can often be found on many antique pocket watches. The tiny date aperture cut into the dial is magnified with a lens affixed to the inside of the crystal making the date appear larger than it is. This feature is not unlike the Rolex Cyclops magnification lens but executed in a much more subtle way. The beautifully manufactured 57 jewel ETA 2892-A2 that has been modified to Ulysse Nardin specification with chronograph module is visible through a transparent lab-grown sapphire case back window. A folding locking titanium buckle keeps the soft brown rubber strap secure and adds a modern look to the 41mm watch. This watch is lightly worn original condition. The case has never been polished or refinished in any way. The only signs of use are some small scuffs on the rubber strap and titanium buckle. A few light passes with a green Scotch-Brite pad will have the buckle looking like new.  Comes complete with all the original packaging, beautiful brown lacquer box, instructions, wallet etc. all in perfect condition. It’s working great, keeping excellent time with all functions working as designed. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers will provide the new owner a complimentary 1-year warranty covering all aspects of mechanical failure and defects. The current version of this watch has the familiar Mariner look but is a bit larger at 43mm, comes with a calendar that only needs reset once per year and comes with a €13,600.00 ($21,900.00 CAD). Our estate price for this classic Ulysse Nardin is $5,900.00 CAD. Stock #501-00418.

4.03ct. VS1-F ideal cut lab-grown diamond solitaire, 5.0gr. 14kt. sz. 8 1/4. $1,400.00 CAD. 101-00659

Lab grown diamonds have fallen in price so much that we know of ring manufacturers who are giving away 1.00 carat lab-grown diamond with every ring setting. Of course we realize the price of the diamond has obviously been built into the ring mount, but the point is clear, lab-grown diamonds are really cheap compared the their natural counterparts. If this beautiful lab-grown 4.03 carat VS1-F ideal cut was of natural origin it would cost over $150,000.00 CAD! Lab-grown diamonds have impacted the cost of natural, but significant sized natural diamonds are still very expensive and rare. Our estate 4.03 carat lab-grown diamond is set in a traditional style four prong double gallery solitaire. It is crafted from 4.2 grams (net weight) of 14 karat gold in a finger size 8 1/4. The well made, solid shoulder ring measures 2.3mm wide and is in hardly worn condition. It is less than a year old and has never even been repolished since it was first purchased. Aside from some worn rhodium around the setting, it is still intact, even on the shank bottom. Accompanying to ring is an International Gemological Institute report documenting the characteristics and geometry of the diamond. Lab-grown diamonds rarely come with Gemological Institute of America reports because of the extra cost of a GIA document would significantly increase the price. If you’re looking for a diamond ring that looks like it’s worth $175,000.00, here’s your opportunity for less than 1% of the cost. If you’re not a size 8 1/4, this ring can easily be made smaller or larger. Estate priced at $1,400.00 CAD. Stock #101-00659.

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.

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.
