A guide for this piece: about $1,287, 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.

Condition

Grade B denotes medium use, marks or soiling in the accompanying grading key; the strap is also graded B. Fine scratches and the underside-lug digit engraving are explicit. An overhaul without a date. Neither the grade nor that note confirms the present alarm, date or winding state. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Keep the watch dry until its present seals and operating condition have been examined. Confirm the correct setting and winding sequence for the actual movement with a qualified watchmaker. No transferable maker or third-party service coverage is promised. Have both crowns and the alarm system checked before winding or setting.
