A guide for this piece: about $689, 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
The original description records clean glass and dial, with small scratches on the case, bezel, hands and bracelet. Body and bracelet each carry A on that original scale. No overhaul was performed in that record; the timing value and card date are historical, not a current performance or warranty certification. See the Japanese condition ranks guide.
Authenticity & Care
Keep the case and dial dry and away from strong magnets. A qualified watchmaker should check the movement, crown and strap security before regular wear; do not polish away case markings or attempt to clean the dial. No current pressure test or service certificate is represented. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
Delivery from Japan
Packed with care in Japan and sent by insured, tracked EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, remain payable on arrival; ask about destination requirements before arranging delivery.
