A guide for this piece: about $2,294, 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 Rolex GMT-Master II, reference 16710, in steel with the red and black bezel known as the Coke, made in 1991 and overhauled in Japan before sale.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and moved to Geneva in 1919, and the GMT-Master, made first in 1954 for airline pilots crossing time zones, remains the house's travel watch.
The reference 16710 pairs a black dial of luminous round markers with a date window at three o'clock, a fourth hand that reads a second time zone, and a 24-hour bezel in red and black known as the Coke. The crown screws down, and the case and Oyster bracelet are steel.
The case is 40 mm (1.57 in) across, with the automatic calibre 3185 and water resistance to 100 m (330 ft). The serial letter X places it in 1991. It is shown on its bracelet, with the folding clasp and case back photographed.
