A guide for this piece: about $745, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A Grand Seiko Heritage Collection Spring Drive GMT in stainless steel, with a silver dial, a date, a second time zone and a power-reserve indicator.
The Piece
Grand Seiko was established by Seiko in 1960 to make the finest watches in Japan. Its Spring Drive movements pair a mainspring with a quartz-regulated mechanism, so the seconds hand glides rather than ticks.
The silver dial carries a date window, a GMT hand and a power-reserve indicator, and the case and bracelet are stainless steel. The watch is water resistant to 100 m and has been professionally polished.
The case is 40 mm (1.57 in) across, and the bracelet fits a wrist up to 20 cm (7.9 in). The box, a presentation case, the warranty card stamped October 2023 and the instruction manual are included.
