A guide for this piece: about $110, 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.

The G-Shock DW-6900FS made with Tezuka Productions for the eightieth anniversary of the birth of Osamu Tezuka, in black with a red face, complete with its Astro Boy box.
The Piece
The matte black resin case surrounds a red dial with three small eyes above the display, and the name Astro Boy appears below the logo. The case back and strap keeper carry commemorative engraving, and the red carton is printed with Atom in flight.
The case measures about 50 mm, the strap 25 mm, and it fits a wrist of up to roughly 22 cm. It is graded close to unused.
Atom on the Wrist
Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
Tezuka was born in 1928, and this DW-6900FS was made for his 80th anniversary, with the Astro Boy name on the dial and commemorative engraving on the case back and keeper. It is graded close to unused, and the battery is not guaranteed. More pieces are on the collectible watches shelf.
