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.

The Carysfort Reef Limited Edition Aquis GMT is not only one the most striking watches Oris make, it also brings much needed attention to the state of the World’s endangered coral reefs. The Carysfort reef in the Florida Keys have been in decline for decades. According information included with the watch, coral reef populations in the Florida Keys is only around 2% of what it was less than 100 years ago. Oris have been working with Coral Restoration Foundation since 2014 rehabilitating threatened reefs. The Aquis line of diver watches has been very successful for Oris, this one comes with a second time zone GMT feature. The additional pointer shaped hour hand displays any second time zone you select in a 24 hour format. For the sharp sighted there is an additional 24 hour scale printed on the dial. The gradient blue dial with radial finish is a thing of beauty, becoming darker toward the edge. The orange rubber strap is very flamboyant complimenting the blue dial with its orange highlights scattered about. The navy blue/black rotating bezel has been manufactured using super tough ceramic. Daylight (6:00-18:00 hours) are navy and night hours (18:00- 06:00 hours) displayed with black ceramic, all with bright white contrasting numbers. Bright luminous hands and, markers make time interpretation is the dark straight forward. The watch is water resistant to 300 meter thanks to a protected threaded crown, screw on case back and pressure fit lab-grown sapphire crystal. The bright orange multi-length strap is fitted to a deployment buckle with a slick built in micro adjustment with 4 extra size adjustments. The limited edition watch 1170 of 2000 is in original condition and has never been polished or refinished, there is still a protective plastic sticker on the inner surface of the buckle. It shows some minor scuffs and scratches that come with casual use from the first and only owner. It was purchased in the Toronto area from an Oris authorized agent and comes with the original purchase receipt. All the original documents and packaging come included with purchase along with a Oris Bear mascot keychain. In keeping with the environmental friendly message of the Carysreef project, the brownish green inner box is said to have been made using regenerative algae even though it looks like regular plastic. An embossed image of a coral reef decorates the case back of the 43.5mm watch. Oris still show this watch on their website but they have all been sold out and are no longer available. The watch is running great and keeps excellent time. We are happy to provide the next owner with a no charge 1-year warranty. This uncommon watch is estate priced at $2,900.00 CAD. Stock #501-00409.

10 karat bright-cut/nugget cross pendant 1.75 grams (26.1mm x 17.2mm) $225.00 CAD. 436-00351

Bright cutting and heavy textures were a key design feature for jewellery in the early 1980s and this retro cross pendant is a perfect illustration of that 80s style. This cross is three dimensional and completely reversable, identical on both sides. As a biproduct of the construction, the inner nugget textured surfaces display a rosy hue from years of natural oxidation. The blush hue contrasts very well with the outer bright-cut highly polished surfaces on both sides. An extended cleaning in our high temperature ultrasonic machine will completely remove the oxidation, we feel it enhances and reenforces the vintage/retro look, but we’ll let you decide if you want it removed. The pendant is a decent size measuring 26.1mm x 17.2mm (not including bail). It is in perfect condition showing no wear in the oval bail. Crafted from 1.75 grams of 10 karat yellow gold and estate priced at $225.00 CAD. Stock #436-00351.
