A guide for this piece: about $2,205, 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 softened red lower bezel meets the black upper half on this Rolex GMT-Master II 16710.
The Piece
Recorded work includes overhaul, light case/bracelet refinishing, new back and crown gaskets and a replacement mainspring. The GMT family's travel-watch origins belong to the 1950s, not this individual unit's production. Wrist fit is about 19.5 cm, separate from the 40 mm case diameter.
