A guide for this piece: about $446, 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 vintage Rolex Oysterdate Precision, reference 6694, in a gold-coloured case with a white dial, Arabic numerals at six and nine, a date window and a hand-wound movement.
The Piece
The Oyster case arrived in 1926; Rolex's Perpetual rotor followed in 1931 and the Datejust in 1945. These are family-history milestones, not this watch's date or a fresh water-resistance rating. The reference and dial signature need to be checked against the case and movement before claims of matching original components can be made.
Reference 6694 is a hand-wound Oysterdate with a smooth bezel and a gold-coloured case over a steel case back. The white dial is signed Rolex Oysterdate Precision, with Arabic numerals at six and nine, gold baton markers, a date window at three and a sweep seconds hand.
Running was reported historically; current timing and wear have not been newly assessed. The strap is a black crocodile-patterned leather strap and it is not original.

Authenticity & Care
