A guide for this piece: about $437, 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 vintage Rolex Oyster Precision, reference 6426, in a gold-coloured case with an ivory dial, gold baton markers and a hand-wound movement, on a brown leather strap.
The Piece
The Oyster case arrived in 1926; Rolex's Perpetual rotor followed in 1931 and the Datejust in 1945. These are family-history milestones, not this watch's date or a fresh water-resistance rating. The reference and dial signature need to be checked against the case and movement before claims of matching original components can be made.
Reference 6426 is a hand-wound Oyster with a round case, here in a gold-coloured finish over a steel case back. The ivory dial is signed Rolex Oyster Precision, with the Rolex crown at twelve, a fine radial finish, gold baton markers and a sweep seconds hand.
The watch was as running; it has not been tested again. The description notes that the screw-down crown threads in only shallowly, and the case shows the worn gold finish and marks of age.

Condition
Original Japanese rank 3: Ordinary used numeric 3 category; shallow crown screw engagement explicitly recorded. Keep dry and have the crown/tube examined; no fresh diagnosis or timing test. See Japanese condition ranks.
Reference 6426 and number 832393; ivory describes dial colour, not animal material.
Shallow crown engagement must be assessed separately from the ordinary-used appearance grade. The gold-coloured case and ivory-coloured dial are descriptions of appearance.
Authenticity & Care
Keep dry pending a qualified watchmaker's inspection of the movement, crown, seals and fastening. Do not force a damaged crown or polish aged dial surfaces. Identity, component originality, metal fineness and service history remain individual checks.
Delivery from Japan
Confirm protective packing and destination requirements before dispatch. Precious-metal and animal-material carriage requires a permitted route; these pieces travel by a permitted route.
