A guide for this piece: about $245, 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.

Ribbed fan-shaped panels extend above and below the small round dial.
The Piece
A gold-coloured rim encloses the silver-toned face, with alternating baton and square markers and two slender hands. The fluted panels are part of the case silhouette, not a separate bracelet. A replacement black strap passes between the case ends. This requires repair assessment, not merely an expectation of cosmetic wear. No running statement accompanies the individual description.

Condition
Original grade 1 means junk or non-usable, not a cosmetic C equivalent. The black strap is identified as a replacement. Dial ageing, case marks and strap wear remain visible. Arrange a watchmaker assessment before treating it as wearable. See the Japanese condition ranks guide.
Authenticity & Care
Keep the case and dial dry and away from strong magnets. A qualified watchmaker should check the movement, crown and strap security before regular wear; do not polish away case markings or attempt to clean the dial. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
Delivery from Japan
Packed with care in Japan and sent by insured, tracked EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, remain payable on arrival; ask about destination requirements before arranging delivery.
