A guide for this piece: about $1,888, 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 rounded cushion-shaped case frames the white diamond-marker dial of this hand-wound Baume & Mercier dress watch.
The Piece
The bezel repeats the round stones, while the bracelet alternates smoother and textured gold links. Slim gold-coloured hands leave the centre of the dial relatively open, and the plain back contrasts with the decorated front. The separately 30 mm (1.18 in) case and 26 mm (1.02 in) dial spans are useful because they distinguish the outer silhouette from the visible display.

Condition
Light wear consistent with age. See Japanese condition ranks for grading context.
Authenticity & Care
Use a soft, dry cloth and keep the watch away from perfume, solvents, strong magnets and abrupt temperature changes. Have present operation, crown, clasp and seals assessed by a qualified watchmaker before regular wear or water exposure. For a hand-wound movement, stop rather than force the crown when resistance is reached. Have the woven-link bracelet, clasp and winding action assessed before repeated wear; avoid abrasive polishing of the textured links.
