A guide for this piece: about $3,489, 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 Bvlgari Bvlgari Tubogas bangle watch, BB191T, in yellow, white and pink 18K gold, freshly refinished, with a black dial and a new battery.
The Piece
Tubogas takes its name from the flexible gas pipes it resembles. Strips of gold are wound tightly without soldering, so the coil flexes and springs back.
Here the coil makes a double turn in three colours of 18K gold: yellow, white and pink. It needs no clasp and fits a wrist of about 14 cm (5.5 in), giving a little.
The round case is 18K yellow gold, 19 mm across and only 5 mm thick, with the name engraved twice on the bezel. The black dial has gold markers, numerals at 12 and 6 and slim gold hands. The quartz movement has a new battery.
The whole watch weighs about 128.2 g. It has been refinished, with only faint rubbing left on the coil. It comes in a watch case, without the Bvlgari box.
Reserve this piece: at this value it is invoiced privately, by bank transfer with 3% off or by Wise.
