8.5 gram raw gold natural nugget pendant. $2,000.00 CAD. 436-00358

Sometimes Mother Nature can produce jewellery better than any human jewellery designer/goldsmith. The beautiful natural form of this gold nugget is surely why it was spared from being refined after it was discovered. Gold is thought to be around 4.5 billion years old and was likely delivered to earth by asteroid impact. Gold can’t be formed on earth, it was created in stars and scattered across the universe before the our solar system even existed. What makes this nugget specimen especially attractive is the relatively even distribution of what we believe to be translucent quartz crystals trapped inside. A small connecting ring and jump-ring were soldered to the top to allow it to be worn on a cord or chain necklace. The nugget measures approximately 19mm tall and weighs 8.5 grams. It’s a beautiful wearable object and maybe even be a decent long term investment that will appreciate with the price of gold. This one of a kind natural work of art is estate priced at $2,000.00 CAD. Stock #436-00358.

2026 (2 weeks old) Tudor Ranger 36mm 79930. $4,750.00 CAD 505-00660

This is the very popular Tudor ranger. Newly designed in 2025 to much fanfare among Tudor enthusiasts. The throwback design looks the the Rangers from the 1960s but this one is a very comfortable 36mm in diameter and only 11.2mm in thickness. It may look retro-vintage but this ranger showcases many features the originals lacked. The movement powering this classic field watch is Tudor’s own design that is fully manufactured in house. A 70 hour power reserve is close to twice of the original movement that was sourced from an outside manufacturer. Tudor claim this movement to be “weekend proof”, take it off on Friday night and it will still be still be running on Monday morning. The accuracy levels of the MT5400 mechanism is well above the minimum standards for chronometer certification. Tudor claim this 27 jewel automatic winding mechanism is accurate to  -2 to +4 seconds per day! Tudor have opted to keep the dial uncluttered and simple. Their is no mention of the chronometer grade movement within the Oyster case. Just the necessary information for clear time interpretation. A few Arabic numbers just like the originals and stick markers plot out the hours with a subtle minute track on the outer edge. The markers and hands are treated with some of the most luminous stuff on the market, turning night into day when the lights go out. A domed sapphire crystal looks like the original plastic but is hundreds of times harder while offering superior optics. The solid link bracelet showcases a fliplock buckle with 5 micro adjustments cleverly concealed under the buckle. Tudor call this the “T-Fit”, allowing up to 8mm of extra length for those hot humid days. You can adjust the fit on the go without the need of any tools. The headline is correct, this watch is only 2 weeks old as of this post. It was worn for less than two days before the owner decided it wasn’t for him. We are now offering it for a slight discount under its replacement price. It comes complete with the original inner/outer box, documents, endorsed warranty card, 5-year international warranty (less 2 weeks). The warranty is valid for the next owner until March 30th, 2031. In addition to the box and paperwork, the watch comes with some extra accessories normally not included. It comes with a small and large travel pouch, snap closed folding wallet/card holder, a very cool key chain featuring the Tudor shield logo, snowflake hour hand, rose logo and belt loop clasp. A hard cover 100 2026 product catalogue and  Tudor shopping bag completer the package. The watch is in perfect condition. The only blemish we found is a small witness mark on the brushed finish of the threaded case back where the inside of buckle touches. This is the first of the new 36mm Rangers we’ve showcased in our estate collection. The watch is estate priced at $4,750.00 CAD. Stock #505-00660.

10 karat gold chains $133.00 per gram (many to choose from). 431-00997, 431-01085, 431-01106

Pricing jewellery in an ever changing gold market is like trying to shoot a moving target. Over the past 90 days the price of gold has fluctuated from a high of almost $7,500.00 per ounce to a low of $5,800.00 CAD. Unlike many consumer products that require many different components and manufacturing processes to produce, the price of a basic chain or simple ring is largely dependant on the cost of gold. Fine silver, other alloys, machinery, craftsman, and the need to make a profit in order to stay in business are all considerations, but it’s mostly the cost of gold that determines the price of basic jewellery items. Simple as the formula is, few vendors will advertise the price of a gold chain in a way to determine value. Our estate jewellery (without precious gems) is pretty much priced by the gram. The price changes all the time and we try to keep up to date with the market. As of today, the price of gold is trading at around $ 6,600.00 per ounce Canadian. At that price our 10 karat gold chain is valued at $133.00 per gram. We have many styles, lengths, and weights available. All are in excellent condition without measurable wear and no previous repairs. In addition to our 10 karat selection we also showcase many in 14 and 18 karat, also priced by the gram. We’re happy and encourage all our customers you to shop around and compare our pricing. Please keep in mind that our pricing reflects commodity values and can fluctuate. There are many more to choose from. These 10 karat necklaces as shown in 20 and 22 inches are priced at $545.00, $455.00, and $945.00.  Stock #431-00997, 431-01065, 431-01106.

2015 & 2008 Rolex Oyster Date 115210 with rare engine turned bezels, 35mm, $9,800.00 each. 505-00653 505-00659

The now retired Rolex Oyster Date was a continuously overlooked but interesting option to the ever-popular Datejust and basic Oyster (no date). They debuted in the 1950s as a less expensive, slightly smaller alternative to the Datejust. Original versions came only with a manually wound movement but offered a date display, a useful feature for anyone needing a little more utility than just a three hand display. Over the years they received updates and upgrades. Quickset calendars, sapphire crystals, automatic movements, chronometer designation, two-tone or even solid 18-karat gold bracelets and cases made their way to the Oyster Date before it was completely retired. Throughout the years one thing remained the same, Rolex always marketed the Oyster Date as a 34mm watch. The reality is, its size has slowly been getting larger over the generations. According to our digital micrometers, these versions measures in at 35.1mm in diameter. The slightly smaller measurement occupied a unisex size that should have been more popular than it was. I guess for such a small difference in actual case size, most people opted for the far more popular Datejust 36. We almost never see Oyster Date models in our estate department of any generation. Today we are showcasing two from the final series with rare engine turned bezels. The finely grooved bezel with indexes matching the dial hour positions is a little different compared to the solid gold fluted bezels and sportier than the casual smooth polished bezels. I checked through our previously sold estate inventory and couldn’t find a single other example of a 115210, today we have your choice of a sunburst blue or white Roman dial. Any 115210 is uncommon but the white Roman is especially rare. I suppose it makes sense that Rolex retired the “DATE” along with it’s unique engine turned bezel and now only features the DATEJUST in 28mm, 31mm, 36mm, and 41mm sizes with a smooth or fluted bezels only. Both of our lightly worn estate examples showcase the unique engine turned stainless steel bezels that are crisp and sharp. The dials feature 18 karat white gold hour markers and hands. The no lug hole design on these watches gives them a more refined look compared to the older 5 and 4 digit references with fully drilled lugs holes. These watches appear to have been carefully worn by their previous owners, overall condition on both are very good to excellent. The 12 and 11 link Oyster bracelets bracelets show little to no sag on either watch. The sporty Oyster bracelet features a mechanical Fliplock buckle with Easylink extension offering a quick adjustment giving an extra 5mm of length for those tight days. Both watches comes complete with the original inner/outer box, wallet, chronometer tag, documents, and booklet. They also come with the original green plastic hang tag showing the matching serial/model number. These rare retired Rolex Oyster Date are covered by our complimentary 1-year warranty for the new owners. Blue sunburst or white Roman, which one will you choose? Each is priced at $9,800.00 CAD. Stock Numbers 505-00653 & 505-00659.
