A guide for this piece: about $1,929, 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.

Blue hands cross the ivory-coloured dial of this Bell & Ross Vintage 123G.

The Piece

The round grey-gold case surrounds Arabic numerals, a small seconds display and a date window, with a view of the automatic movement through the back. Grey gold is the material description, not a freshly tested fineness or an invitation to call the case stainless steel from its colour. The other-maker leather strap was replaced, while the buckle is separately described as maker white gold. Recorded 38 mm diameter, 11.5 mm thickness and 93.9 g mass describe the configuration then examined. The maximum 18 cm fit is not a new wrist measurement or proof the strap remains unused today.

Condition

Grade A+ follows an overhaul and polishing, rather than the A previously repeated. No box, guarantee or other accessories are recorded. The replaced strap’s stitching, leather flexibility and buckle engagement need inspection separately from the movement. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Keep dry pending a qualified watchmaker’s assessment of the case, seals and mechanism. Do not open the back or polish the case at home. Ask for current winding, time-setting and fastening checks before regular wear; servicing is not a fresh performance test. Store the watch separately with its strap or bracelet supported, so the case edges and clasp cannot strike another object. Match reference and serial records to the actual watch rather than relying on a box or an old service statement. No present water-resistance or continuing maker cover is established.
