Breitling Avenger SeaWolf M73390 45mm quartz ltd. ed. $3,500.00 CAD. 515-00115

The world of luxury watches is dominated by old fashioned spring driven mechanical movements. Over the past 100 years, we’re moved on from steam driven vehicles, gramophones, vacuum tube radios, and a million other forms of early technology, but the mechanical watch movement continues to be state of the art for the worlds luxury watch makers. Many of the top Swiss brands have completely abandoned superior accuracy quartz electronic movements decades ago. The occasional ladies quartz models are sometimes equipped with a quartz movement, but larger sporty watches are mostly made with automatic spring driven mechanisms. Breitling embraced quartz technology for a long time in their specialty AeroSpace models, and they returned the the sports quartz market a few years back with the introduction of the very successful Endurance Pro series. Our latest estate Breitling is also a quartz model, the 45mm limited edition Seawolf M73390 in gunmetal finish stainless steel on rubber strap.

Breitling’s thermally compensated chronometer quartz movements are accurate to less 30 seconds per year! The high capacity lithium battery inside the large watch should last up to 5 years. Breitling only made 1000 of these watches in gun metal finish. Attached to the soft black rubber strap is a locking buckle with built in micro adjustment.

1.58ct. tw. I1-H “Celebration Grand” Canadian diamond $3,500.00 CAD. 101-00675 e10596.

People’s Celebration Grand is so named for what they claim to be a 14% increase in the diamonds spread or footprint compared to other diamonds. A quick check of the diamonds dimensions indicate that it has the 61% depth percentage, which is standard for a very good to excellent cut diamond. I suppose in comparing it to average and poorly cut diamonds it would have a 14% larger footprint, but not compared to diamonds cut to proper round brilliant standards. Many jewellery retailors neglect to touch on a diamonds cut grade, as consumers seldom ask about this mysterious 4th of the 4Cs. By focusing their sales pitch on clarity, colour and carat weight instead so they can save cost with average cut grades. Cut is just as important as any other characteristic and anyone shopping for a round brilliant diamond should spend equal energy educating themselves on that C as they do the other three. Slick marketing aside this is an excellent cut diamond and beautiful ring! It’s been cut to Hearts and Arrows standards and has had a Firetrace light analysis done to determine its level of brilliance, scintillation, and dispersion. As proof of the power of a good cut, the 0.58 carat diamond hardly shows its I1-H quality. It shows much cleaner and whiter to the unaided eye thanks to all that brilliance! The diamond is also of Canadian origin with a laser inscription across its girdle as proof of pedigree. The centre diamond is accented by an additional 1.00 carat of I1-HI accent diamonds all set into a robust 5.9 gram, 14 karat white gold halo engagement ring. The ring is equipped with a permanent ring guard that hugs the finger, preventing the top heavy ring from rolling over. Accompanying the ring is its original Peoples box and a 2014 Gem Scan Laboratories Firetrace report, diamond grading report, certificate of Canadian origin/authenticity, and an estimated retail replacement value of $5,300.00 (as of February 28, 2014). The ring is currently shown on Peoples Jewellers website for $5,800.00, on sale from their regular price of $7,499.00. Our estate price is only $3,500.00 CAD. Stock #101-00675 e10596

1984 Rolex Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird Datejust 16253. $8,000.00 CAD. 505-00638

I’ve been baffled ever since I saw my first Turn-O-Graph; why isn’t this model more popular? In fact it’s never been a top seller since the 1953 introduction, but I think it is one of the best Rolex designs. The Turn-O-Graph is the true do it all design, especially so in two-tone configeration. It seems only very few appreciate the added functionality of the two way timer bezel. Most who have purchased a Datejust opt for the simple fixed fluted bezel variety. I’m sure even Rolex can’t figure out why it hasn’t been more successful. They persisted with the model updating it for over 5 decades until it was recently retired around 10 years ago. Although not the most profitable watch from Rolex, it is notable for a number of reasons. It was the first watch to introduce the idea of the rotating timer bezel way back in 1953. It is considered the father of the wildly successful Submariner diver model. It was also the first professional pilot watch. In the 1950s it was used by pilots for navigational calculations. Later in the same decade it became the official watch of the US Air Force acrobatic Thunderbird display team. The Turn-O-Graph is also known in North America as the Thunderbird due to this association. Our example appears to be in original condition, showing far less wear than you’d expect from a watch over 40 years old. According to the 7.4 million serial number the watch dates from around 1983. The silver dial with 18 karat yellow gold hour markers and hands is dressy enough to wear to any black tie event, but also can be casual and sporting. The polished 18 karat gold centre links of the Jubilee bracelet are all luxury along with the solid 18 karat gold textured rotating timer bezel. The 20 link bracelet shows some sag and a touch of stretch but has many decades of life remaining. The dial and hands are perfect, every one of the tritium marker plots is completely intact showing just a touch of tan patina. The plastic crystal has a few light scuffs and scratches but they can easily be polished away while you wait. This watch has a vintage look with modern features like quick set calendar setting with high-beat/hacking movement. For every vintage Turn-O-Graph you encounter, expect to see close to 20 of the common Datejust 16013 of era that are currently on the market. The rotating bezel of the Thunderbird gives the watch a slightly larger presence on the wrist compared to a regular 36mm Datejust. This watch does not come with an original box or documents. Including a one year complimentary Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty this uncommon Rolex watch is estate priced at $8,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00638.

23.75ct. white opal & ruby (1.00ct. tw.) dinner ring, sz. 7, 14kt., 18.1gr. $3,250.00 CAD. 206-00652

Jewellery should be fun, and I can’t think of anything more fun when it comes to jewellery than a colourful 23.75 carat white opal ring! It’s more than the weight of this monster opal, it’s how the weight is distributed. White opals are opaque, so being cut overly deep does nothing to enhance the appearance, it just makes them difficult to set and weigh more. This opal is all about how is faces up, and it faces up huge, measuring 36.0mm x 20.4mm and only 5.7mm in depth. The depth is more than enough to provide adequate strength but not so deep as to add useless additional weight. What you get with this one of a kind ring is a genuine rainbow coloured party on your finger. The cabochon cut opal is bezel set with a complete frame of gold to protect the gem’s edges. If a 23 carat opal isn’t enough, it has been embellished with 34 round faceted natural rubies measuring 1.8mm diameter. The bright red accents add a further 1.00 carat of gem weight to this over the top dinner ring. It measures a finger size 7 and can easily be made bigger or smaller to fit any finger you wish. It’s not just about the monster opal, this custom made ring was crafted to a high standard using over 13 grams (net weight) of 14 karat yellow gold. Large rings require structural integrity and thoughtful design. A solid shank measuring 3.1mm wide with cathedral shoulders ties the pierced contoured gallery together. The large opal exhibits classic pinfire play of colour characterized by a mesmerizing pastel colours arranged in tightly packed pinpoint flashes of spectral colours scattered across the gem’s surface. Still images can never do a ring like this justice, this playful ring must be seen in person. Almost impossible to duplicate and estate priced at $3,250.00 CAD. Stock #206-00652.

Omega Seamaster Co-Axial Chronograph 42MM 2 extra straps 212.30.42.50.01.001 $4,600.00 CAD. 510-00229

Whenever we get one of these they usually don’t stick around for very long. The “James Bond” Seamaster 300 series has become one of Omega’s most iconic designs since it was introduced way back in 1993. Over the years specifications have changed but the basic format with that distinctive 9 segment link bracelet has been a constant. This example is the Seamaster co-axial chronograph 212.30.42.50.01.001. Our latest estate Seamaster is in very good condition. It appears to have only been worn occasionally as there are just superficial scuffs on the bottom of the bracelet, buckle, and polished sections of the case. It has never been refinished and remains in original condition. Powering this watch is Omega’s calibre 3330 and features co-axial escapement, column wheel chronograph with high tech silicone hairspring that is virtually impervious to strong magnetic fields. Screw down crown/case back, one way timer bezel, luminous hands/markers, calendar display, and of course a 12 hour chronograph should keep even a hardened watch geek entertained. When fitted with the original stainless steel bracelet the 42mm diameter watch weighs around 200 grams. The previous owner fit an Omega red rally strap to give it a more casual look and lighten the load a bit. With the rally strap in place the total weight dropped significantly to just 115 grams. If you’re a big guy or don’t mind a little bulk on your arm the Seamaster Diver 300 with the steel bracelet is definitely a watch you should check out. In addition to the rally this watch also comes with an Omega black and red nylon waterproof NATO strap. These straps offer the ultimate in security. The one piece design means even if you break a spring bar the watch stays attached to your wrist. The watch comes with an Omega travel capsule that is big enough to hold the 2 extra straps, original stainless steel bracelet, and plenty of replacement spring bars if you want to change the look while keeping everything organized. The jet black ceramic bezel is fade proof and many times harder than the old anodized aluminum inserts found on the early generations. A glossy black dial has replaced the old wave textured dial for a more sophisticated and mature look. Omega are still producing a Seamaster 300 Chronograph with a black dial on bracelet. They have returned to the wave dial making this model a little more unique. The current version is even larger at 44mm and carries a retail price of $12,200.00. Including Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers one year warranty and Omega box with instructions, the watch is priced at $4,600.00 CAD. Stock #510-00229.
