A guide for this piece: about $9,318, 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 champagne dial places the full weekday above the hands and the date at three on this Day-Date 228348RBR.

The Piece

Rolex introduced the Day-Date in 1956 with separate day and date windows; that model history does not date this individual watch. The historical description records an automatic movement, yellow-gold case and diamond-set bezel. Dial stones are described as ten baguette diamonds. Current case seals, movement health, setting originality and gemstone security have not been independently tested. The warranty-card date concerns the recorded paperwork, not proof of the manufacture year or transferable coverage.

Condition

Fine bezel and buckle scratches were recorded; other visible components were described as having no conspicuous damage. The maintenance dates are historical records, not a fresh workshop inspection. No separate Japanese letter grade is supplied in the recovered text. Box damage is part of the accessory condition and should not disappear behind a general good-condition summary. See every photograph before deciding; they are part of the description. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Use a clean microfibre cloth and keep the watch dry until its seals and water resistance have been tested. Current-maker washing advice is not proof that this particular older watch can be immersed. Confirm the appropriate setting procedure with a qualified watchmaker; a present pressure test, movement inspection and accuracy check are still required. No transferable service warranty is promised. Bezel and dial stones require a setting-security assessment before cleaning. No present power-reserve or depth-rating performance is guaranteed.
