A guide for this piece: about $264, 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.

Gold-coloured Roman numerals and two hands sit against a brown dial, framed by a smooth circular bezel.
The Piece
Straight paired attachments hold a brown textured strap, and the rear view preserves the Must de Cartier case markings. The original title records quartz movement and an SV925 case, while the individual condition table assigns grade 1, meaning junk or non-usable. That entry takes precedence over the deadstock-style headline. A photographed guarantee card is documentation, not a present mechanical inspection or proof that its service terms transfer.

Condition
The original numeric grade requires repair assessment. It must not be reduced to ordinary cosmetic wear or replaced by the promotional deadstock language. Case marks, dial appearance and strap wear remain visible, but the exact mechanical or electrical fault is not identified. Historic guarantee language is not current manufacturer coverage. 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. No current pressure test or service certificate is represented. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
